Negative volumes in v8.9 despite all surfaces being correctly oriented

Dear all,

In a previous post for v8.8 (https://unmethours.com/question/27850/why-a-negative-zone-volume/ ) a user reported that EnergyPlus was reporting negative values.

In v8.9 I'm also obtaining the same type of trouble, and it is also corrected with the same solution (specifying zone height instead of autocalculate). My model, as far as I have checked, has all the faces oriented correctly. And it is a simple shoe box type of model.

Is there a fix available for this?

Thanks
