Numbered results in DView when using BEopt v2.8 wit ERI enabled.

If I run a model in BEopt v2.8 with the ERI and DView boxes checked, I get three sets of results for each case e.g; "Case", "Case - 2" and "Case - 3". Presumably one is the intended model, another is the ERI reference home and the third something else... But which is which? I don't see anything in the documentation or previous inquiries about this here.

Disclaimer: I can't strongly enough recommend that users avoid the ERI calculation in BEopt 2.8. It is ~10 years old and absolutely not reflective of ERI scores that would be calculated today -- partly due to subsequent changes to the ANSI 301 standard, and partly due to NREL interpretations of the standard that have been clarified in recent years.

That said, the answer is that "Case - 2" is the ERI Rated Home and "Case - 3" is the ERI Reference Home. You can verify this by comparing the XML files that are produced in the simulation temp directory.
