When trying to use this script in the OpenStudio application as an "add measure now," I get the error that my spaces "has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added." However, the spaces have a thermal zone, and have outdoor boundary conditions, so I'm not sure what qualifies as having exterior natural lighting. Here is a snippet of the code from the github site, but I can't interpret it, thanks for the help!

#eliminate spaces that don't have exterior natural lighting has_ext_nat_light = false space.surfaces.each do |surface| next if not surface.outsideBoundaryCondition == "Outdoors" surface.subSurfaces.each do |sub_surface| next if sub_surface.subSurfaceType == "Door" next if sub_surface.subSurfaceType == "OverheadDoor" has_ext_nat_light = true end end if has_ext_nat_light == false runner.registerWarning("Space '#{space.name}' has no exterior natural lighting.
