Hello,
I have the following surface definition:
BuildingSurface:Detailed,
14UURUFLf1nxhN1M6Z5xTd, !- Name
Wall, !- Surface Type
Masonry - Concrete Masonry Units (0.194), !- Construction Name
PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE, !- Zone Name
Surface, !- Outside Boundary Condition
2Alq_duZP7$O9kLNEDNXyJ, !- Outside Boundary Condition Object
NoSun, !- Sun Exposure
NoWind, !- Wind Exposure
Autocalculate, !- View Factor to Ground
Autocalculate, !- Number of Vertices
34.862,-24.919,2.438, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 1 {m}
35.907,-25.965,2.438, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 2 {m}
35.907,-25.964,0, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 3 {m}
34.862,-24.919,0; !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 4 {m}
Which causes EnergyPlus to emit the following warning:
ProcessSurfaceVertices: Possible non-planar surface:"14UURUFLF1NXHN1M6Z5XTD", Max "out of line"=1.76734E-004 at Vertex # 2
I can see that the surface is (barely) non-planar. Is an error this small going to cause actual problems with EnergyPlus, or is that warning just a sanity check?
Thank you,
Cody Rose
