Components and Space Type and Construction Set Wizard for ASHRAE 90.1-2013 in OpenStudio

Hello, I am new here. I have couple of questions about the Space Type and Construction Set Wizard for 90.1-2013.

  1. The "Space Type and Construction Set Wizard for ASHRAE 90.1-2013" is not in Sketchup plugin so I try to download it in the OS. I think the download measure directly inside OS has a glitch. It shows nothing under ""whole building" but I am able to download Space Type and Construction Set Wizard from the website. My OS version is openstudioapplication-1.1.1-alpha.

  2. I have the Space Type and Construction Set Wizard measure successfully loaded in OS (thanks to this post) and a new Construction Sets is created showing 90.1-2013. However, the constructions show up under this Construction Set look suspecious. For example, under Interior Surface Constructions I now have "Typical Interior Wall" and "Typical Interior Floor". But other constructions from BCL component have specific label with them like "ASHRAE 189.1-2009 EXTWall Mass ClimateZone 1-8". I am thinking maybe the Space Type and Construction Set Wizard just generate a 90.1-2013 construction set, but not actual constructions/components? I can't find components which labeled as ASHRAE 90.1-2013 on BCL either. Where can I find them? I've read some posts that they were underdevelopment but I am not sure if it is still the case.

Thanks everyone.
