One way to do parameteric runs in EneryPlus is with DOS
batch files and using EPMacro with IMF files.
The batch files can create the alternative cases using
lines like this:
echo ##set1 wallHeight 2 > param.inc
echo ##set1 wallWidth 10 >> param.inc
call runeplus main IL_Chicago_TMY2
ren main.csv main-2-10.csv
echo ##set1 wallHeight 3 > param.inc
echo ##set1 wallWidth 11 >> param.inc
call runeplus main IL_Chicago_TMY2
ren main.csv main-3-11.csv
echo ##set1 wallHeight 4 > param.inc
echo ##set1 wallWidth 12 >> param.inc
call runeplus main IL_Chicago_TMY2
ren main.csv main-4-12.csv
The main.imf file would have a line near the top that would
say:
##include param.inc
The IMF file would then use the variables "wallHeight" and
"wallWidth".
See the EP documentation for information about macros. See
an old DOS book about batch files.
