description: "BRICR is software for translating NREL's BuildingSync™ XML (BSXML) to\
  \ OpenStudio® Workflow (OSW) files for simulation.  Each BSXML contains information\
  \ about a building as well as multiple possible energy efficiency upgrade options.\
  \  An OSW file is created and run for each possible efficiency upgrade, the results\
  \ of all simulations are stored in BSXML format.\n\nBRICR was jointly developed\
  \ by NREL and LBNL for the San Francisco BayREN: Integrated Commercial Retrofits\
  \ (BRICR) project funded under the DOE solicitation \"Solutions to Improve the Energy\
  \ Efficiency of U.S. Small and Medium Commercial Buildings (DE-FOA-0001385)\":\n\
