Chinese community and open resources for CONTAM building airflow, indoor air quality simulation, and environmental intelligence.
CONTAM-China is an open community project initiated by IndoorAI-Lab.
The project aims to promote the learning, application, and development of CONTAM in Chinese-speaking communities by providing:
- Chinese tutorials and documentation
- Modeling examples and case studies
- Research resources
- Application experience sharing
- Discussions on indoor environmental simulation and intelligent building systems
CONTAM is a widely used multizone airflow and contaminant transport simulation program developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This project focuses on helping researchers, engineers, and students better understand and apply CONTAM in practical problems related to indoor air quality, ventilation, pollutant transport, and building environmental systems.
The long-term goals of CONTAM-China include:
- Building a Chinese knowledge base for CONTAM users
- Developing practical modeling examples for education and engineering applications
- Improving accessibility of indoor environmental simulation technologies
- Exploring the integration of CONTAM with artificial intelligence, digital twins, and intelligent environmental systems
The repository will gradually include:
Beginner and advanced tutorials for:
- CONTAM installation and configuration
- Building airflow modeling
- Contaminant transport simulation
- HVAC system modeling
- Simulation result analysis
Practical modeling cases including:
- Residential buildings
- Offices
- Classrooms
- Healthcare environments
- Indoor air pollution scenarios
Collections of:
- Related papers
- Technical documents
- Useful tools
- Learning materials
Research and development platform focusing on:
- AI-enhanced environmental systems
- Digital twins
- Intelligent agents for environmental facilities
An integrated development environment designed to improve the workflow and usability of CONTAM modeling.
CONTAM-China welcomes contributions from researchers, engineers, students, and CONTAM users.
