Transferring parameter data between family instances

I want to send the result of a calculated shared parameter from one family to a parameter in another family. Is this possible? 

e.g.:

Family 1: a "required refrigeration" value based on the length, breadth, height of the family.

Family 2: a refrigeration plant family which takes the value referred above. 

 

I assume this is possible using systems but I'm not at all familiar with those. 

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't clear understand what is your 1st family, but you can easy make it with primitive Dynamo code

Can you be more specific? Are this families connectected? 
In any way, try ModPlus - there tones of free plugins, one of them is "copy parameter values" https://modplus.org/en/revitplugins/mprcopyparametervalues
It says it cost somthing, but I can use it in free version too

Thanks @denis_borodin and @Mikhail.Davtyan for the proposed solutions. Not quite what I'm trying to do. Let me explain a bit further below:

 

Family 1 is a cold-room element with embedded formulas using room surface area to calculate required refrigeration. 

Family 2 is cold-room plant with several family types based on refrigeration generation capabilities. 

A typical project may have 3-4 cold rooms and therefore 3-4 plant. 

I want to be able to link room 1 to unit 1, room 2 to unit 2, etc. and if room 1 needs 100, unit 1 becomes family type 1. If I change the room size so that room 1 needs 150, unit 1 should automatically change to family type 2. 

Effectively, I'm not copying parameters - I'm trying to use a parameter from family 1 to drive a parameter in family 2 in a project environment.

Really nice question). I think you can use only equipment family and nothing else. Make a property "required refrigeration" into them, calculate it by Dynamo,

and then your family type may be selected automatically
