:bee: Honeybee is a free and open source plugin to connect Grasshopper3D to EnergyPlus, Radiance, Daysim and OpenStudio for building energy and daylighting simulation
Now that we have @nealkruis 's awesome work integrated into EnergyPlus, we should probably switch the default ground boundary condition to use it (instead of the current constant ground temperature of 18 C). Neal's pull request to E+ can be found here:
