A Sequence of Operations Gets Translated at Least Three Times Before It Runs. Normal Software Took an LBNL Grant to Generate It From Simulation Instead

Normal Software received a Lawrence Berkeley National Lab grant to generate controller code directly from simulated ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences, a proposed solution to the long chain of translations most sequences undergo.
