In OpenStudio 1.8.5, when I input u-values for a refrigeration walk in system, the numbers I input are immediately changed to another number. For instance, if I input my desired u-value of 0.0433 Btu/hft2F, OS will automatically change it to -96.856808 Btu/hft2F. This can be found in the HVAC Systems tab, under the Refrigeration drop down, in grid view, on the walk in construction tab. The only way I can enter the values I want, is to enter 96.9435 which then gets automatically changed to 0.0433. When I change the program settings to SI units, the values are changed to 805.8418 W/m2*K which doesn't convert to either value I entered. If I try entering the equivalent in SI units, it is changed to a seemingly random number if I change back to IP units. Is this an error, or are the values I am trying to enter out of range and automatically changed to something that OS accepts, or is something else going on inside the program? I've attached a screenshot. I am using OpenStudio 1.8.5 on Windows 7, 64 bit.
