[TRNSYS-users] error reading buffer: window surface number is not unique

Filippo,
   It sounds as though two windows in your *.bui file have been assigned 
the same surface number. The easiest way to fix the problem is to open the 
*.bui file in Notepad and reassign one of the surface numbers, then reopen 
in TRNBuild. If you are not comfortable doing that, I would suggest that 
you send the TRNSYS 16 version of the *.bui file to your distributor and 
have them correct it for you.
Kind regards,
  David
