IPAT-S

IPAT-S is an open-source modeling language that comes with a suite of supporting tools. It is well suited to developing sustainability scenarios, but can be used in other contexts. The language is compact and the interpreter is fast, so IPAT-S is a good choice for rapid scenario development.

It can be used for medium-to-large datasets (for example, a global study with national-level data) as well as for small calculations. Data can be labeled by multiple dimensions using human-readable labels (for example, region, fuel, land-use type) and by year. Linear programming models are supported as a core part of the language.
