Well, one (I think strong) case for building the proposed model first is that there are tools like CBECC-Com (http://bees.archenergy.com/software.html) that will automatically generate the baseline model given the proposed model. Obviously, it would be more difficult to automate the reverse path! CBECC-Com works with OpenStudio and with VirtualEnvironment. Maybe other tools too.
