Switching over to resetUo method to adjust insulating layer thermal conductivity and thickness (genConstruction). Involves changes in naming convention, e.g. material "OSut:K0.047:100" means:
- adjusted material conductivity = 0.047 W/m.K
- (possibly) adjusted material thickness = 100mm

Extending pyOSut constants to cover material MIN/MAX thresholds, e.g.:
- thickness
- thermal conductivity
- thermal resistance
- thermal conductance
Ensuring OSut and pyOSut inherit the very same constants.

Enforcing UMIN & UMAX clamping, raising input-related errors in the process.

Not checking if a surface inherits a default construction from its adjacent:
- surface
- space
- spacetype
- story
... is a big no-no, creating a ton of headaches down the line.

OpenStudio/EnergyPlus materials can obviously support thermal conductivities way beyond 2.0 (e.g. metals, concrete). OSut methods deal more specifically with opaque materials (in a multilayered construction) that can be labelled as insulating. Sure, a 10mm thick material with a 2.0 thermal conductivity is hardly insulating, but certainly more than a sheet of aluminium.

An effort to harmonize pyOSut and OSut constants/methods when dealing with multilayered constructions and opaque materials, largely in line with this OSutPR.
