Abstract:
This report presents an overview of the NIST Multizone
Modeling Website developed by the Building and Fire
Research Laboratory of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST). Multizone modeling
refers to the calculation of airflows, pressure
differences and contaminant transport between zones and
across the envelope of a building based on a simplified
macro-representation of the building. This website was
established to foster the development and facilitate the
application of multizone ventilation and indoor
environmental modeling in the areas of building design,
operation, maintenance, investigation and research. The
main component of this website is the multizone airflow
and ventilation modeling software CONTAMW. Within this
website you will find software tools for performing
multizone analysis, including CONTAMW; CONTAMW data
input libraries; information on the applications of
multizone modeling; multizone modeling case studies; and
references to multizone modeling publications.
