Version : 12.3

Description : Building performance modelling software
ESP-r is a multi-domain building performance simulation program. It
can model heat, air, moisture light and electrical power flows at
user specified spatial and temporal resolution. It comprises a
central Project Manager around which are arranged support databases,
a simulator, various performance assessment tools and a variety of
third party applications for CAD, visualisation and report
generation.
This is useful scientific/building software, and the only Free
Software for doing thermal modelling on GNU/Linux (until Therm get
round to their proposed licence change 'sometime in the next two
years').
It has taken me several years (of very sporadic efforts) to get this
packaged as upstream have such a shitty build system. It has improved
significantly (to merely crappy) since I first started prodding it so
the effort is now much less herculean.
