Dear Jean,
It seems that CO2 is captured as a “uniformly mixed” gas, but I think you should ask the Help Desk about this. If other contaminants can be simulated, I suspect it is only as “uniformly mixed” – anything better would require CFD, as Oscar says.

Subject: Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Contaminant Modeling
I dont think so. you have yo use a cfd code and run a transient simulation. eplus only gives you final concentrations but you cant see where is your pollutant. the problem is more complicated for big zones like open spaces. i hope now i really help you with your question.
