Data and Libraries
CONTAM enables you to share certain types of data between building components contained within a project as well as between projects. The sharing of data within a project (locally) is accomplished by allowing you to associate multiple building components with data elements defined within a project. Sharing data between projects is accomplished by exporting data elements from one project into CONTAM library files and then retrieving the data elements into another project from the library files. The following table lists the different types of data elements implemented by CONTAM. All of the data elements can be shared within a project, and all but occupancy schedules can be shared between projects.
| Library/Local Data Elements | Local-Only Data Elements |
|---|---|
| Contaminant-related (LB0) Species Source/Sink Elements Contaminant Filters Kinetic Reactions |
Occupancy Schedules |
| Schedules (LB1) | |
| Wind Pressure Profiles (LB2) | |
| Airflow Elements (LB3) | |
| Ductflow Elements (LB4) | |
| Ductflow Elements (LB4) | |
| Control Super Elements (LB5) |
