esp-r-nix

esp-r-nix is a Nix Flake which compiles ancient open source energy modelling software called esp-r¹ created by the University of Strathclyde. To do this, it even compiles Radiance², a no longer maintained and similarly ancient and hard to reproduce program, which is an under-documented runtime dependency of esp-r.
