Abstract

This chapter identifies the most suitable modelling approach to conceptualise the complex sociotechnical systems of housing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Before the review of literature for modelling techniques of STS, the chapter reviews literature on the systems-based approach of scientific inquiry as the theoretical knowledge base underpinning the STS. This is mainly to give the philosophical background of STS. The chapter then conducts a literature search, and the review results reveal that the domain of application of STS has been mainly in the area of human–computer interaction studies, information technology, software engineering, engineering (general), business and management, medicine, and a host of others. This chapter of the research book also analyses the modelling techniques for STS. The chapter further probes the techniques for their capability in capturing the research problem under investigation in the book against a set of criteria.
