NOTE:The user should now seriously consider making parametric runs to minimizethe consumption of energy by the building. Most of the cost of simulating theLOADS of the building has already been endured. For a slight additional expenditure,it is possible to make substantial reductions in energy consumptionand costs. By using the parametric commands, PARAMETRIC-INPUT and PARAMETER,it is possible to vary user-selected building parameters in a simplified costeffectivemanner. Exactly what LOADS parameters should be changed, and towhat extent they should be changed, is beyond the scope of this manual. Bearin mind that merely simulating a building with <strong>DOE</strong>-2 does not necessarilyreduce energy consumption. Only the proper use of this tool will reduceenergy consumption.See Chap. II (BDL) for more information on PARAMETRIC-INPUT and PARAMETER.III.126 (Revised 5/81)
