ExteriorWall *

Documentation: The portion of the building envelope, including opaque area and fenestration, that is adjacent to one conditioned or unconditioned space and that is vertical or tilted at an angle of 60° from horizontal or greater.

  • Needs single adjacency

For exterior walls with windows, the working file has this:

The current Build Well export has this:

	<Surface surfaceType="ExteriorWall" id="bw-surface-10" >

Again,the only difference I see here is that we need the Rectangular Geometry addition.
