I am not sure I understand your question fully but here is a "potential" answer: You could prepare your BCVTB system model (xml), manipulate your EnergyPlus input file in Python for instance, write your new idfs file and then from Python invoke the BCVTB to run your system model whenever you will want it to do so. See http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/latest/doc/manual/tit-comLinArg.xhtml which describes how to invoke the BCVTB from the command line. Hope this answers your question.

Thanks!
