      abstract = {This book covers the range of methodological approaches,  methods and tools currently used in various areas of  building science and technology research and addresses the  current lack of research-method literature in this field.  The book covers the use of measurement-based methods in  which data is collected by measuring the properties and  their variations in actual physical systems,  simulation-based methods which work with models of systems  or processes to describe, examine and analyze their  behaviors, performances and operations, and data-driven  methodologies in which data is collected via measurement or  simulation to identify and examine the associations and  patterns and predict the future in a targeted system. The  book presents a survey of key methodologies in various  specialized areas of building science and technology  research including window systems, building enclosure,  energy performance, lighting and daylighting, computational  fluid dynamics, indoor and outdoor thermal comfort, and  life cycle environmental impacts. Provides advanced insight  into the research methods and presents the key  methodologies within the field of building science and  technology. Reviews simulation-based and  experimentation/field-based methods of data collection and  analysis in diverse areas of building science and  technology, such as energy performance, window and  enclosure studies, environmental LCA, daylighting, CFD, and  thermal comfort. Provides a range of perspectives from  building science faculty and researcher contributors with  diverse research interests. Appropriate for use in  university courses.},
