The vector direction is correct for one wall and not for the other wall.
I use the right hand rule. The vector direction should always be out of a zone. (finger follows the vertex ordering direction. Thumb the vector direction. Floor down, roof up, etc.)
The name of the surface is in the error file, and the direction is in the summary report.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] GetSurfaceData: Outwards facing angles of surfaces
Hello everyone,
I get a severe warning which is from GetSurfaceData and says that - one of the subsurface has different outward facing angle than it's base surface. I have checked that both the surfaces are following the same coordinate system and starting points i.e. starting from lower left corner and going counterclockwise.
I guess its some issue related with the export I made from the latest Designbuilder's beta version.
If not, What do you think could be the problem and how to resolve it?
Thank you!
Best,
