History of Building Science:
• Building science started many years ago when a building scientist in Rome faced a problem
of exaggerated humidity which caused damages to scrolls. Because of that, he designed a
passive ventilation system to lessen the humidity in a place where the documents were
hidden. Afterwards, the evolution of building science began to start and we are still using
it in the present time.
What is Building Science?
• Building science is the understanding and analysis of the different factors or things that
affect the building. Its focus is to make the house more energy efficient and functionable
for the occupant. Things like insulation types and building envelope are some of examples
that makes the building more or less efficient.
