Parameter values that are computed by EnergyPlus appear in the modelDescription.xml file as

<ScalarVariable name="LIVING ZONE_AFlo" valueReference="2" description="Floor area"
  causality="local" variability="constant" initial="exact">
  <Real quantity="Area" relativeQuantity="false" start="12.0" unit="m2" />
</ScalarVariable>

This is the wrong causality because the standard says:

"local" : Local variable that is calculated from other variables or is a continuous-time state (see section 2.2.8). It is not allowed to use the variable value in another model or slave.

It should be causality = "calculatedParameter" and variability = "fixed" and initial = "calculated", and the start attribute needs to be removed.
