\section{Methods}  This research will review and outline the methods and results of best practice building energy modeling (BEM) tools used for the simulation of advanced built environment technologies. Each modeling method will be evaluated on criteria of adaptivity, repeatability, and accuracy for building design iteration and economic valuation. Previous simulations Large sections of the thesis will focus on case studies previously  done by CASE and myself of pre- which has lead  and post-processing informed the current hypothesis. Simulations including:  Integrated Concentrating Solar (ICS) and Electroactive Dynamic Daylighting System (EDDS), respectively, (EDDS). The experience creating and using these models for architectural design  will be used to discuss precedence and  limitations of current methods. Additionally, existing best practice projects that use methods such as, computational fluid dynamics, raytracing, and moisture modeling, will be discussed and outlined for their precedence and limitations. The capture and transformation of natural climatic flows at the building envelope by current and next-generation built environment technologies is a vastly complex, multi-scale, interconnected physical problem of mass, momentum, and energy.
