@Aaron I repaired your model and sent it back through email. Like I said in the email I found a stray ThermalZone object that looked as though it had been created outside of our API. I'm not exactly sure how that happened, but in any case I removed the stray zone and everything seems to be fine. I found the zone suspect, because it was not attached to a zone equipment list or surrounding nodes like I would expect. Normally when you create a new ThermalZone using the OpenStudio API (or the Application which uses the API), zones will be initialized with these things.

Based on your (offline) description of the model's life to this point, I do not believe you intended to have any zones in the model at all, only spaces.

Update
We isolated this to the way the SketchUp inspector is creating zones. A bug has been filed here.
