The current building simulation of heat air and moisture (HAM) only regards the indoor air as homogeneous, which cannot accurately predict and evaluate the thermal and humid environment of complex historical buildings. In this study, the heat, moisture, and airflow coupled model (HAM-CFD model) was developed by FORTRAN programming, and then the simulation results of the HAM model and the HAM-CFD model were compared to study the characteristics of indoor environment under the action of airflow. The results show that there is a coupling effect between the indoor airflow and heat and moisture transfer of walls. The HAM-CFD model can reflect the temperature stability of the building center, and has a better correlation with rainfall. The HAM-CFD model can more truly reflect the changes of building temperature and moisture content in complex thermal and humid environment.
