Abstract:
This manual describes the use of two computer programs
for analyzing the air movement and indoor air quality in
multizone buildings. The first program CONTAM is used
to create and edit the building description including
data for all features relating to airflow or to the
generation and removal of contaminants. It uses a
graphic interface to establish the spatial relationship
of these features. These data along with weather data
are used by the program CONTAMX to calculate the
airflows and dynamic levels of indoor contaminants. The
results of the calculation may be reviewed graphically
in CONTAM and printable files may be generated.
Together these two programs are called CONTAM93.
