If you have any interest in working with DOE2 directly, you can do this relatively easy using the following .bat file as a template. In this example, the file "BatchTest.inp" is run for two locations. The results are stored in "BatchTest_1.sim" and "BatchTest_2.sim". You can add as many locations as you'd like to the end of the file.
:: Script to run DOE2 simulations over multiple locations
:: Do not include .inp extension in file name.
:: By default, the doe22.bat script does not allow spaces in input file.
set inp_file=BatchTest
set doe_cmd=c:\\doe22\\doe22.bat exe48r
:: First run is Memphis, TN. Do not include the .bin extension in
:: weather file name
set weather=TN_Memphis_International
call %doe_cmd% %inp_file% %weather%
copy %inp_file%.sim %inp_file%_1.sim
:: Second run is Jackson, MS. This procedure can be followed for any number
:: of locations.
set weather=MS_Jackson_International
call %doe_cmd% %inp_file% %weather%
copy %inp_file%.sim %inp_file%_2.sim
