The software is fully scriptable with Common LISP. IDA ICE library components are either written in the Neutral Model Format (NMF) or Modelica. The big advantage compared to other BPS software is the coupled simulation of building envelope, systems and controls. The coupling with optimization engines like GenOpt is available directly in the program. Additional features like parametric simulation runs and visual scripting support decision making in a parametric design process. The flexible architecture of the software makes it easy to develop the software continuously to adapt it to local requirements and languages, and to expand it with new capabilities. The IDA ICE model library features viewable code the model equations can be viewed and adapted, every variable in the whole system can be logged.

The equation-based approach enables solving more complex mathematical problems than software using imperative programming languages. IDA ICE can be used for complete energy and design studies, involving the envelope, systems, plant and control strategies.

A full range of component models for renewable energy studies is available, with boreholes, stratified tanks, heat pumps, solar collectors, CHP, PV, wind turbines, etc.Р”Р„n interface with OpenFOAM for detailed CFD studies is in development. There is also the 'Early Stage Building Optimization' (ESBO) user interface which makes it possible for users to experiment with variations in both buildings and systems at an early stage with a minimum of user input. The integrated radiosity method with single reflexion and one measuring point can be used for whole-year daylight analysis and allows modeling daylight-based control strategies (e.g. A module for Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010 is available, this is used for example in LEED and BREEAM. A simple procedure for calculating and reporting cooling, heating, air demand, and energy, together with a built-in version handling system, makes it efficient to compare different systems and results.Р”Р„dvanced daylight calculation are achieved by interfacing the Radiance lighting simulation tool with result visualization in the 3D environment.

IDA ICE provides a 3D environment for geometry modeling, the table-based input of boundary conditions provide good visual feedback and enables efficient quality check. Many inputs are adaptable to local requirements such as climate data, material data, system components or result reports. The user interface of IDA ICE makes it easy to create simple cases but also offers the flexibility to go into detail of advanced studies. English, German, French, Swedish, Finnish
