Thank you Javed,
I am interested in what you say about modeling the geometry. I am a big fan of SketchUp for doing the geometry – works for Sefaira, OpenStudio and IES VE. Are you indicating that IDA ICE has a more cumbersome geometry modeling interface?

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!!

I am wondering about experience with IDA ICE. Some are claiming it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. The blurb on their website sounds encouraging but I am always nervous when the cost of software isn’t readily apparent.

We are using eQuest, IES VE and OpenStudio. Are there things IDA ICE can to that these other tools cannot? If IDA ICE has good ice rink capabilities then it might be worth investigating.
