Under the Tools Menu, select Optimisation/Parametric Analysis Settings. From there, under Design Variables enter the variables that you want to explore. The Parametric settings can also be accessed under the Simulation tab. DesignBuilder creates a copy of the base model, changes the specified parameters, and runs the simulations. Be sure to read the help files before starting this. Start simple, one variable at a time, to learn how the process works.
Another way to do it is to copy the base model (save as a different name), make changes, and run it. Do this for each scenario you want to review. So, changing the roof U-value from 25 to 40 in increments of 5 requires 4 separate simulations.
