These report variables:

Output:Variable,*,Surface Window Front Face Temperature Layer 1 ,Hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Surface Window Back Face Temperature Layer 1 ,Hourly;

are outputs for the complex fenestration model. These results will be 0 if Construction:ComplexFenestrationState is NOT used in the input.

The example files CmplxGlz_......idf show how this fenestration model is constructed. I added these variables to CmplxGlz_MeasuredDeflectionAndShading.idf and these reports are non-zero.

The methodology for reporting variables in the report data dictionary (rdd) is to report only the outputs available for the input file being simulated. In your case these variables were reported to the rdd in error, mainly because the program did not know a complex fenestration object was not used in the input file when this output report was originated.
