[Bldg-sim] IDA ICE experience

Fri Feb 23 22:47:42 PST 2018

I meant process of creating complex geometry is time consuming! I am aware
of new release that brings better geometry modeling capabilities which i am
yet to explore.

Also, I forgot to mention its parametric capabilities using MOBO
<http://ibpsa-nordic.org/tools.html> , [Link
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5LFKxRPoKQ>] Which we have used in facade
optimization exercise in some research projects.

Hope this helps!!
