BS* and Beer is a local discussion group for builders, architects, engineers, tradespeople and anyone interested in better building. Building Science* is simply the laws of physics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics applied to the building. We gather monthly at a brewery, pub or job site to discuss these topics in our industry, enjoy a few refreshments, and engage in the high performance building community.

Constructs buildings, structures, and infrastructure

Designs and plans buildings with a focus on functionality and aesthetics

Solves problems by designing, developing, and improving systems.

Skilled workers who specialize in manual and technical crafts.
Building thermal dynamics refers to the study of how heat is transferred, stored, and distributed within a building. It encompasses the interaction between the building’s materials, design, and environmental factors such as sunlight, wind, and temperature. Thermal dynamics in construction involve understanding heat flows through conduction (via walls and roofs), convection (through air movement), and radiation (from sunlight or heated surfaces). Effective thermal management ensures energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability, guiding the choice of insulation, ventilation systems, and materials to regulate indoor temperatures efficiently.
Building fluid dynamics refers to the study of how air and liquids move within and around a building. This includes analyzing airflow for ventilation, heating, and cooling systems, as well as the behavior of water in plumbing, drainage, and rainwater management. In construction, fluid dynamics helps optimize energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and occupant comfort by modeling air circulation, controlling moisture, and ensuring efficient water flow. Key factors include wind forces, pressure differences, and the design of ducts, pipes, and building openings to balance performance and sustainability.
