New Severe warning on E+ 8.9.0 for Foundation Kiva

Lately I upgraded from OS 2.4.0 to OS 2.5.0 which uses E+ 8.9.0 running a model which went smoothly in OS 2.4.0 I get the following severe warning:

   ** Severe  ** Construction="BASEMENT SOUTH WALL", constructions referenced by surfaces with a
   **   ~~~   ** "Foundation" Outside Boundary Condition must use only regular material objects
   **   ~~~   ** Material="RAINSCREEN AIR GAP- 3CM", is not a regular material object
   **  Fatal  ** GetSurfaceData: Errors discovered, program terminates.

Basement South Wall is as follows:
