Brian and Vikram beat me to it. I'll just add that there is more about

this in the "Modeling Procedures Quick Reference Guide" available

through the Help menu.

When you link elements in eQUEST, then the "linked" element takes on all

of the properties of the element it is linked to except those which are

explicitly set.  I use this for identical boilers and chillers -- when I

change efficiency or capacity in the linked boiler, it is set for all of

the boilers.  Linked fields are dark purple (violet).  You can override

any field in which case it becomes red (typical eQUEST).

 

Hope this helps.
