CONTAMW 1.0 User Manual: Multizone Airflow and Contaminant Transport AnalysisSoftware

摘要

This manual describes the computer program CONTAMW developed by NIST. CONTAMW isa multizone indoor air quality and ventilation analysis program designed to help you determine: airflows-infiltration, exfiltration, and room-to-room airflows in building systems driven by mechanical means, wind pressures acting on the exterior of the building, and buoyancy effects induced by temperature differences between the building and the outside; contaminant concentrations-the dispersal of airborne contaminants transported by these airflows and transformed by a variety of processes including chemical and radio-chemical transformation, absorption and desorption to building materials, filtration, and deposition to building surfaces; and/or personal exposure-the prediction of exposure of building occupants to airborne contaminants for eventual risk assessment.
