[Equest-users] Workflow question - What is the best way to modelthe baseline case and then design case? LEED

[Brahme, Rohini UTRC]

The way I have done it before is change the HVAC system and its
corresponding parameters in the parametric window. The zoning and the
number of systems remains the same.

I am modeling a building that has a Packaged VAV system as the base case
and a standard VAV system as the design case.  Is there any easy way to
set up a second mechanical system and then reassign the zones to it as a
parametric run?  I'm trying to avoid creating a second model so that I
can keep any adjustments to the schedule, loads or envelope identical.
I have investigated setting up dummy zones to assign the VAV mechanical
system to, but I can't figure out how to reassign the zones as a
parametric run.  Thank you.
