The EEM (Energy Efficiency Measure) run mechanism that is accessed via the toolbar button you have identified is only able to operate on building creation wizard inputs. Since the building model you have loaded into eQUEST was not created using the eQUEST wizards, the EEM run option is not available to you for this project.<br>The other "Parametric Run" feature IS however available for projects such as this one, where the model is editable in the detailed interface. Access this feature using the menu bar via Tools - Parametric Runs.<br>The parametric run interface doesn't hold your hand quite as much as the EEM one does, as you have to identify each individual parametric run change, but there should be plenty of flexibility to setup alternative design runs.<br>I recommend you review the eQUEST tutorials for more information on the Parametric Run feature. This section can be found in the eQUEST Modeling Procedures Quick Reference Guide in the most recent release(s) but in earlier releases it was located in the Introductory Tutorial.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>- Scott<br><br>On 11/9/2011 7:39 AM, Andres Franco Usme MicroCAD S.A.S wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Hi everyone, I want to make an EEM, but the button is grayed out, how is possible to activate it?, see image below, I need to know if it’s due to an input error or any other parameter that I wasn’t see, any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:ES-CO'><img width=576 height=355 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CC9EF1.962229B0"></span><o:p></o:p></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=1 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:ES-CO'>Cordialmente,</span></font><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=1 color="#993366" face=Arial><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#993366;mso-fareast-language:ES-CO;font-weight:bold'> </span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Andrés Franco U.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=1 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>Arquitecto/ LEED Green Associate</span></font><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=1 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>Director División Arquitectura Construcción y Mantenimiento </span></font><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><font size=1 color="#993366" face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#993366;mso-fareast-language:ES-CO;font-weight:bold'>MicroCAD S.A.S.</span></font></b><font size=1 color="#7f7f7f" face=Arial><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#7F7F7F;mso-fareast-language:ES-CO'><br></span></font><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:ES-CO'><a href="http://www.microcad.info/">www.microcad.info</a> // <a href="http://blog.microcad.info/">blog.microcad.info</a><br>Tel: (57) (4) 293 21 21 ext 108 // 444 81 49 // Fax: 604 16 02<br>Calle 55 # 46-14 Ed.
