In building science you'll learn a lot about heat conductivity, thermal transmittance, condensation in wall assemblies, stack effect and how to calculate all of these.

There is a fair amount of report writing but between the two there is far less work in Building Science, but that's just IMO.

But like I said, it really depends on what you want to go into. Keep in mind though taking Building science still allows you to apply for the Arch sci degree program.
Thanks for the info. Was at the presentation but still hard to make a decision.

Heard it may be harder to build a good portfolio to get into Arch Science degree when taking the Building Science option though, not sure if it's true.
