[Bldg-sim] Modelling the base case Wall U-value

This question is about the modelling the base case for 90.1-2004 
Appendix G.  I read that the base case walls should be modelled as 
Steel frame with the maximum U-value as noted in Tables 5.5-x.  Does 
this mean that the simulation output file should list the wall 
U-value as the same as noted in Tables 5.5-x for Steel Frame 
construction for the building type - Non-residential or Residential 
as the case may be?  For example, if the location points to Table 
5.5-1, I assume that the simulation output file should list the 
assembly U-value as U-0.124 for non-residential.

Thanks for you help!
