Building Science

This can almost be translated literally and I think the term "science" can be used here. However, we would normally say "buildings" rather than "constructions" in this context - which is down to basic English usage.

"BUILDING SCIENCE is the collection of scientific knowledge that focuses on the analysis and control of the physical phenomena affecting buildings. It traditionally includes the detailed analysis of building materials and building envelope systems. In Europe, building physics is a term used for the knowledge domain that overlaps heavily with building science, and includes fire protection, sound control, and daylighting as well as the heat and moisture concerns that tend to dominate North American building science. The practical purpose of BUILDING SCIENCE is to provide predictive capability to optimize building performance and understand or prevent building failures."
