Hi Paul and Amandine

I am working for some time on DSF and I had data both from buildigs and 
test cells. Now I have a student using En+ trying to match the collected 
data (test cell) and there are some problems. If you have some published 
or useable results I would appreciate.

Regards

Fernando
