Building Science can be defined as research across a broad spectrum of the sciences, including applied physics, chemistry and environmental science, in studying how physical phenomena affect the way buildings perform. The field primarily focuses on interior spaces, such as temperature, acoustics, light and air quality, and building materials and energy usage that affect the overall internal environment.

In practical terms, Building Science studies material applications and design parameters to maximize a building's performance and sustainability while maintaining an optimal level of comfort. The scientific knowledge gained through practical experience and lab research is used to develop best practices for energy usage, sustainability and safety for new and existing buildings, and the creation of new materials and methods.
