[Equest-users] Copy Parametric Runs Between Models

It is the .prd file which is a text file that defines parametric runs.

The answer to whether it can be copied to other models -- the answer is 
a very cautious yes.   You simply rename the old .prd file with the new 
project name and pow, you have a series of parametric runs to start with 
in the new model. */However/*, parametric runs use the u-value names to 
identify model components to be changed.  Thus, as long as your zone 
names or AHU names or whatever are the same, then, yes, you could use 
the .prd file from one model to another.  However, as you can imagine -- 
once things change, it is very challenging to realign them.

Good luck.
