Benchmarks are important tools to verify computational models. In the research area of building physics, the so-called HAMSTAD (Heat, Air and Moisture STAnDardization) project is a very well known benchmark for the testing of simulation tools. In this paper we revisit this benchmark by modeling all five subtasks using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Again we conclude that the COMSOL® software provides satisfactory results on all benchmarks.
