I was going to say the one thing I use them for is reference
building lighting power densities ... but Robby has clearly taken it
a giant leap forward from there.<br>

<div>When I look at most of my project files, the Global
Parameters list is pretty standard, however each parameter is
usually project specific, i.e. Number of Residences, Glazing Ht
by Orientation, System Efficiencies.</div>

<div>One thing that can really help speed up modeling is to get
fancy with the user-defined defaults, using basic IF/THEN
statements you can setup default schedules, lighting w/sf, equip
w/sf, infiltration etc. based on a trigger of the space. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Using the C-ACTIVITY-DESC command under the Space Parameters
you can label a space based on use, and have your defaults do
the rest of the work for you.</div>
