Inconsistent sub surface name in IDF Translator

[TMaile]

As part of our testing, we compare two IDF files that are generated from OSMs to ensure that we do not miss any changes in the generated model.

We discovered some small differences in the naming of sub surfaces in the IDF files.

E.g., Sub Surface 11 <-> Sub Surface 5, see comparison screenshot below. I also attached the two osm and idf files. we use the following code to generate the IDF form the OSM.

OpenStudio::EnergyPlus::ForwardTranslator.new.translateModel(model)

How were these OSM files generated? Are these output from one of the tests?

here is the test:

BuildingSync-gem/spec/tests/model_articulation_test/site_spec.rb

Line 73 in 1d0f32f

it 'Should write the same OSM file as previously generated' do

it uses an older OSM file generated by the same process and compares it to a newly generated after translation to IDF.
