Biomimicry-based approach to enhance energy efficiency in an office building

High energy consumption is a global issue nowadays. The building sector consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Inspiration from nature (biomimicry) could be the driving force in architecture to achieve a high level of sustainability by translating biosystems into architecture. Drawing inspiration from various sources to address the challenge of the design problem, integrating the behaviour of biosystems into the building envelope could significantly influence energy performance. This paper investigates a bio-mimicry-based approach to enhancing energy efficiency in office buildings by analysing and comparing 8 projects in different climates. The result showed that the behaviour level is more applicable and functional than the organism. And ecosystem levels. Finally, the conceptual model would propose office buildings based on biomimicry strategies.

Abstract

High energy consumption is a global issue nowadays. The building sector consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Inspiration from nature (biomimicry) could be the driving force in architecture to achieve a high level of sustainability by translating biosystems into architecture. Drawing inspiration from various sources to address the challenge of the design problem, integrating the behaviour of biosystems into the building envelope could significantly influence energy performance. This paper investigates a bio-mimicry-based approach to enhancing energy efficiency in office buildings by analysing and comparing 8 projects in different climates. The result showed that the behaviour level is more applicable and functional than the organism. And ecosystem levels. Finally, the conceptual model would propose office buildings based on biomimicry strategies.
