I didn't see this in the Known issues in VE 2016 list, so posting here for the benefit of other users.
In VE 2013.0.1.0, if the user assigns elevator loads to the baseline and proposed models using the PRM navigator, runs a PRM sim, then changes the elevator loads and runs another sim, only the baseline changes will show up in the BPRM Report, despite the fact that the changes appear in the Tabular Room Data. This occurred using the Peak kW selection for the Energy Consumption per Elevator, but may also happen with the Annual kWh selection.
One workaround for this bug is to to change the Gain # Input Mode from Btu/h from template to W/ft2 and then back for the PRM sim results to actually change. I wasted quite a bit of time troubleshooting and finding a workaround for this bug.
