  title = {A Python Library for Radiance Matrix-based Simulation Control and EnergyPlus  Integration},
  abstract = {<p>Radiance matrix-based methods enable efficient<br />parametric simulations, allowing users to vary sky<br />conditions, fenestration systems, and other model<br />parameters at a minimal cost to computation. However,<br />the steep learning curve and complex workflow hinder<br />the widespread adoption of matrix-based methods. The<br />frads Python library with a series of command-line tools<br />was developed to automate the entire matrix-based<br />simulation process, lowering entry barriers and reducing<br />human error. Co-simulation between EnergyPlus and<br />Radiance was also enabled using the Python library from<br />EnergyPlus.</p>},
