[Radiance-general] Radiance 5.0 installation on ubuntu 14.04

[Humberto Antunes]

I analyzed the data more carefully and the difference is not that big, I'm
going to follow your advice and I'm going to create a script to run the
simulation N times until the average of the final value starts to converge,
this way i think I will get a very accurate value, do you think this is a
good idea?

Best regards
Humberto A.
