HAM Construction modeling using COMSOL with MatLab Modeling Guide, version 1.0

This paper presents a first modeling guide for the modeling and simulation of up to full 3D dynamic Heat, Air & Moisture (HAM) transport of building constructions using COMSOL with Matlab. The modeling scripts are provided at the appendix. Furthermore, all modeling files and results are published at the following webpage: http://sts.bwk.tue.nl/hamlab/ The aim of the paper is to provide a relative easy access to HAM modeling and simulation for people who have only minor experience with MatLab and COMSOL (release 3.2). Another aim is to increase the user group of COMSOL so that possibly more and more interesting models and results become available for the building physics society. Comments of users will be used to improve this document in future versions.
