    computer codes for heat-air-moisture transfer

    There are quite numerous codes, programs, software packages for HAM simulations. They range from simple to complex. IEA/Annex 24 on Heat, air and moisture transfer provided some, old but excellent, comprehensive reviews, comparisons, classifications and assessments.

    Most of the core coding were initiated at Europe about 12 years' ago. Some of the North American codes were based on European ones and were extended on material data, interface and other transfer mechanisms.
