When you purchase COMIS you will receive the following:
  • The COMIS program
  • The COMIS manual
  • Technical support from TESS for as long as you own COMIS
  • Free online updates to COMIS

COMIS is a bulk air flow modeling tool that was originally developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs in Berkeley CA. While freely available, no front end and little support is offered. In 2006, the TRNSYS Studio interface developer (CSTB) modified their TRNSYS Studio so that it functions also as an interface for COMIS. We are pleased to offer this powerful package as an add-on to TRNSYS. There is no difference in the COMIS price between commercial and educational licenses. Please contact us for more information if you have specific questions about pricing.
