ModelToIdf and EnergyPlus warnings

I want your help about warnings and how they can be eliminated (Although I understand, they are not all of them critical).

Here 's my model: https://we.tl/5Cmmzhz0UY

ModelToIdf Warnings:

Warning: Both surfaces 'Surface 40', and 'Surface 27 reference the same construction 'Interior Wall' but it is not symmetric, creating a reversed copy.

EnergyPlus Warnings:

Warning : IP: Note -- Some missing fields have been filled with defaults. See the audit output file for details.

In the out.audit file I see this Warning IP: IDF line~1976 Object=LIGHTS, name=189.1-2009 - OFFICE - CORRIDOR - CZ4-8 LIGHTS 1, entered with less than minimum number of fields. * ~~~ * *Attempting fill to minimum. * Add * 1.00000000000000 ! field=>Fraction Replaceable

Warning: ProcessSchedulelnput: ScheduleTypeLimits='CONTROLMODE', Unit Type='CONTROLMODE' is invalid.

Warning: GetHTSurfaceData: Surfaces with interface to Ground found but no 'Ground Temperatures' were input. Found first in surface =SURFACE 1 Defaults, constant throughout the year of (18.0) will be used.
