[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Sensitivity analysis software for building energy

["david.f.goldwasser@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use OpenStudio to do a sensitivity analysis in using EnergyPlus. If you want to make datapoints by hand you could use the Parametric Analysis Tool (PAT).

If you wanted to do a larger analysis with defined distributions for each variable you can use our spreadsheet analysis workflow.
