- Abstract
- This manual describes the use of three computer programs for analyzing the air movement and indoor air quality in multizone buildings. The first program NBSAVIS creates and edits a building description and generates the leakage, fan and contaminant data necessary to predict the air infiltration and internal air movement in a building and perform an indoor air quality analysis. These data are used by the program CONTAM88 which calculates the air flows and both dynamic and steady state levels of indoor contaminants. CONTAMEZ also produces an output file which can serve as the input for the NIST programs CONTAM86 and CONTAM87 developed by Dr. James Axley.
