Description

https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/blob/6aed934ea899f50ee017347bf4333687f5af15ca/openstudiocore/src/utilities/bcl/templates/common/README.md.erb#L17

This isn't a big deal, but if it is an easy fix and if we have to make a new installer anyway, it would be nice to fix. This will the readme.md on the all the updated measures on BCL.

Note: this doesn't error out the process, it just ends up with a blank space on the Readme.md under taxonomy.

Research direction

Start at openstudiocore/src/utilities/bcl/templates/common/README.md.erb line 17 and inspect how the template is expanded for updated BCL measures. Reproduce the generated README and verify that the taxonomy value appears instead of a blank space without causing the process to error.
