OpenStudio Simulation Running error

Hello. I am working on a project using OpenStudio and once I start running the simulation I encounter some fatal errors making the simulation unable to run. Opening the eplusout.err I see these specific types of errors:

"Severe * FenestrationSurface:Detailed="FACE 265", invalid blank Outside Boundary Condition Object * ~~~ ** ...when Base surface uses "Surface" as Outside Boundary Condition Object, subsurfaces must also specify specific surfaces in the adjacent zone."

Reference severe error count=122 ..... Last severe error=FenestrationSurface:Detailed="FACE 968", invalid blank Outside Boundary Condition Object.

My model's geometry is made through the floorspace.js and there seems to be an issue with the Subsurfaces on my building. (Doors, Windows, Glass Partitions etc.) In the subsurfaces tab I notice that there are blank spaces in the "Outside Boundary Condition Object" section.

I tried to edit these subsurfaces through Sketchup but I just don't seem to get it right. Any help would be appreciated.
