[Equest-users] Parametric Runs

[Anand.Varahala at us.schneider-electric.com]

Hello All,

I am a fairly new eQuest user and I have been trying to model a 
manufacturing plant to analyse the savings by replacing a roof with better 
insulating/reflecting properties. I wasn't really able to figure out a way 
create parametric runs and I would appreciate if anyone could throw some 
light on that.

Here's more detail:

The plant has multiple types of roofing. Part of the roof that has 
asbestos for insulation is being replaced. The whole area under the roof 
doesn't have any internal walls, No cooling, and has 5 direct fired units 
(about one on each side of the building) for heating.
I need to model two different roofs, one with high reflectivity and one 
with high R value and compare the results. Is there a way I can do it by 
parametric runs? Or, do I have to create two more models with new roofs 
and compare them with the baseline?

Thank you.
-Anand.
