HAM: computer models
Division: engineering and research HAM models HAM assumption for multiphase flow moisture transport
engineering model: "relates moisture flux to the gradient of moisture content and in doing so utilizes secondary moisture characteristics (moisture diffusivity)". For design. example HAM: WUFI-ORNL/IBP, HAM: WUFI (W?rme- Und Feuchtetransport Instation?r)
research model: "uses the gradient of moisture potentials and primary transport coefficients (moisture conductivity)", for research. attempts: HAM: hygIRC, HAM: MOISTURE-EXPERT
The computer codes for heat, air and moisture transport in building envelopes. The survey by Hens, H. and Janssens, A., 1993, Inquiry on HAMCAT codes is the most complete and classic review on the issue.

- CIB - International Council for Building
- "to provide a global network for international exchange and cooperation in research and innovation in building and construction in support of an improved building process and of improved performance of the built environment." "CIB is the acronym of the abbreviated French (former) name: "Conseil International du Batiment" (in English this is: International Council for Building). In the course of 1998, the abbreviation has been kept but the full name changed into: INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
