\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, usability,  and accuracy for building design iteration and economic valuation. Large sections of the thesis will focus on case studies of  previously done simulations  by CASE students and myself. The challenges  and myself which limitations faced when using current methods  has lead and informed the current hypothesis. Simulations including: Experience creating and using simulations created for  Integrated Concentrating Solar (ICS) and Electroactive Dynamic Daylighting System (EDDS). The experience creating and using these models for architectural design (EDDS)  will be used leverage  to discuss precedence and limitations of current methods. Additionally, existing best practice projects that use methods such as, 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.
