[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Parametric Study and Autosizing?

["noelcrrl" <noelcrrl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response.  Would you know of an easy way to input 
the "autosized" values from the EIO into the IDF.  Inputing these 
values into the IDF manually seems time consuming and I am looking 
for an easier way.

Thanks,
Noel
