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
