COMIS (or parts of it) still seem somewhat active in Europe. EMPA and 
Transsolar built COMIS into a version of the TRNSYS building model. For 
a time, COMIS with a graphical interface was offered as a commercial 
product that could either stand alone or be coupled with the TRNSYS 
building model. Recently EMPA and CSTB, who had been maintaining COMIS 
in Europe decided to go open source with the engine 
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/comis/message/982)

As for CONTAM, it can stand alone or be coupled with the TRNSYS building 
model as well.
Best,
  David
