COMIS 3.0: a new simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling

COMIS 3.0 is a new simulation environment developed in the framework of IEA/ECB Annex 23. To our knowledge this is the first time that one of the Annexes of IEA/ECB produces as its main result a validated software not only designed for research laboratories but also intended to be used by engineering and consulting companies. Annex 23-subtask 1 aimed at developing a multizone air flow modelling system (COMIS1) encapsulated in a Simulation Environment, in order to facilitate access to, and use of COMIS. In this paper, the main features of this new multizone airflow and pollutant transport simulation code are presented. Examples of applications to real cases are given.
