<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:

‘IDA Indoor Climate and Energy 3.0’ (<a
href="http://www.equa.se/ice/intro.html">http://www.equa.se/ice/intro.html</a>).
The program seems to have undergone some rigorous validation efforts and its
modular structure looks quite attractive for advanced users and researchers.
Has anybody on this list used it and could you share your impressions and how
capable the tool is in modeling complex systems and geometries? Are there any
mature GUIs and comprehensive libraries available for the tool? Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
