Abstract:
1. INTRODUCTION

A calculation tool for HAM (heat, air and moisture) system analyses in building physics, that takes interaction between building structure, building services, climate and the users into account, is of great interest both for the researchers and the designers in this area. In order to take advantage of the graphical user interface, a unique library of software packages related to the basic building components, like layered wall structures with material data, boundary and surface conditions, ventilated space, windows, heat and moisture sources, HVAC components, etc. is made in Simulink. All models are made as block diagrams and are easily assembled in a complex system through the well-defined communication signals and ports. Simulations are run under both steady-state and real outdoor and indoor climatic conditions.
