<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If your “Improved HVAC” is a system change in a separate model, than the parametric run is going to start with the input file from the separate model. It will only include the improved envelope and improved lighting
if those are already in the system change model. Otherwise, you will need copy all the parametric components from parametric runs 1 and 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There will be a “.prd” file along with the other model files when you create parametric runs. You can open this in a text editor and see the command structure of parametric runs, components and keywords. I suggest
saving a copy of your model and editing the .prd file to quickly copy the improved envelope and improved lighting efficiency components and keywords into the Improved HVAC parametric run.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each time you execute a parametric simulation, an INP file is generated with the same label (number) in the directory containing the base project. Typically you’ll see something like the following in your project directory after a few
simulations:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PROJECT_NAME.inp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PROJECT_NAME – Baseline Design.inp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PROJECT_NAME – 1.inp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PROJECT_NAME – 2.inp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">etc…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can point a parametric run to be based off of the inp with a label corresponding to the “final” parametric. That file should contain all of the cumulative parametric changes to the baseline model.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am hoping someone can help me with this topic. I am using Parametric runs to make changes to a building’s envelope, insulation, etc. The last run I want to make is a system change, using a different file. When I do this, the final
run is not based on the previous parametric runs, but rather reverts to the original baseline even though I have selected the run to be based on the final parametric. Do I have to input all parametric runs in both files in order to model the system change?
Or is there a different way to do this?<o:p></o:p></p>
