Dear all:

I have recently come across a European energy simulation program called
'IDA Indoor Climate and Energy 3.0' (http://www.equa.se/ice/intro.html).
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.
