[Equest-users] Parametric Runs - Building Rotation

[Eckwahl, Tom]

I wish it were that simple but no the building is a rectangle.

Under Global parameters I've set up one called "rotation 90", numeric
and my parameter value is 0.0

Under Parametric run definitions I've set up separate runs for 90, 180
and 270 all based on my Baseline run

The Parametric component for the 90 deg run is as follows

Type - BDL command
Component Type - Global parameter
Global parameter Type - Numeric
References - rotation 90
Keyword - numeric
Value - 90.00

It all seems straight forward.  Should I be editing something in the
.imp file?

Have to ask - the building isn't a square floorplate with identical
facades and zoning?

Another possibility is if you've input the geometry in a way that is
absolute instead of relative to site and shell orientation.  I think
you'd have to go out of your way to do this in equest though.

Other than that, I think we need to see your parametric inputs/outputs.
PRR, PRD and parametric CSV output files.

problem I'm having is that when the simulation runs it shows no change
in energy usage.  I'm sure its something simple I'm missing.  Can anyone
help?
