Integrated Heat, Air and Moisture Modeling and Simulation in Hamlab, Reference: A41-T3-NL-05-2

This paper gives an overview of recent developments and results of a new integrated heat, air and moisture (HAM) modeling toolkit in Matlab named HAMLab. The recent developments include integration of a whole building model with building systems and controllers, 2D/3D HAM transport in constructions and 2D airflow respectively. The results include a short review on HAM models, a motivation of the selected simulation environment Matlab and extensive verification/ validation results. Furthermore, the integration capabilities are demonstrated by applications. It is concluded that the simulation environment HAMLab is capable of solving a large scale of integrated HAM models. Limitations, benefits and drawbacks are discussed.
