Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Convert File



The warning is simply telling you that the sub-surface is not aligned 
with the base surface (your window is facing a different direction than 
the wall). Sub-surfaces are usually parallel to and in the same plane as 
the base surface. Check the x,y, and z coordinates of the sub-surface 
(and base surface if the window is correct).
