For parametric study in jE plus of WWR, I normally will generate my IDF in design buildings and then either choose 10% WWR and then use a window multipler and a numerical value in jE plus, or will create an IDF in DB with each WWR and then include them by name with Ep macro using jEplus.

Hi,jE+ is the most appropriate choice an is very powerful tool for parametric analysis of building performance. Try it please.Best,NavidOn Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 9:23 AM, muminegercek@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support] <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Thank you for all your explanations. I was trying to focus on EnergyPlus than DesignBuilder in order to make variations in selected parameters such as thermal insulation layer thickness, U values of windows etc. At the beginning i modelled the building in DesignBuilder, but when i searched for parametric function of DesignBuilder, it seemed hard to make changes in about 20 variables at the same time. In addition, group file simulation ability of EnergyPlus was advantage for me, but maybe it is better to learn about possibilities of jE+.
