Hello,

I have used IDA ICE sometime ago. The main advantage of IDA ICE over other
simulation programs is implementing control sequences which is pretty
powerful. I believe, It gives greater flexibility in modeling and
implementing controls for passive strategies such as natural ventilation,
double facade compared etc. 3D modeling is heck, however, due to very
particular about own geometrical interface unlike E+ which gives various
means to import stable geometry.

This is my perception, developed while used it for short time and might
vary compared to someone who is expert user of IDA ICE.

Hope this helps!!
