EnergyPlus Starting coordinate setup for adiabatic ceiling and floor

Hi there, I have a model of a single-story building, and for research purposes I want to minimize the heat transfer from the roof and floor of the building, so I thought of setting it to be adiabatic. I know from the error file of the simulation result that I may need to set the coordinates: * Severe * Ceiling:Adiabatic="CA1", Too few number of numeric args=[0]. * Severe * Ceiling:Adiabatic="CA1", Surface Area <= 0.0; Entered Area=0.00 I can see many groups of coordinates in "BuildingSurface:Detailed" such as "Vertex 1 X-coordinate, Vertex 2 X-coordinate,Vertex 1 Y-coordinate", I want to know how to choose the correct coordinates. Thanks in advance

Hi there, I have a model of a single-story building, and for research purposes I want to minimize the heat transfer from the roof and floor of the building, so I thought of setting it to be adiabatic. I know from the error file of the simulation result that I may need to set the coordinates:

*
** Severe  * ** Ceiling:Adiabatic="CA1", Too few number of numeric args=[0].
* ** Severe  * ** Ceiling:Adiabatic="CA1", Surface Area <= 0.0; Entered Area=0.00

I can see many groups of coordinates in "BuildingSurface:Detailed" such as "Vertex 1 X-coordinate, Vertex 2 X-coordinate,Vertex 1 Y-coordinate", I want to know how to choose the correct coordinates. Thanks in advance
