====Kiva is a free and open source ground heat transfer calculation tool written in
C++. Specifically, Kiva is used to calculate heat loss and gain on a timestep
basis from building foundations. The goal is to create a tool that can integrate
the multi-dimensional heat transfer into standard building energy simulation
engines.Documentation
-------------See the [online documentation](http://kiva.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) for information on using Kiva and creating Kiva input files.
Contributing
------------Kiva is configured as a cross-platform CMake project. To build Kiva, you'll need to clone the git repository and use CMake (pointing to the kiva root directory).
Pre-requisites:
1. A C++ compiler (e.g., Clang, GCC, MSVC)
2. CMakeBuilding Kiva from source
-------------------------1. Clone the git repository.
2. Make a directory called `build` inside the top level of your source.
3. Open a console in the `build` directory.
4. Type `cmake ..`.
5. Type `cmake --build . --config Release`.
6. The Kiva executable (`kiva` or `kiva.exe`) will appear in your build directory.If you'd like to contribute to this code or if you have questions, send an email to Neal
