Soluções bio-inspiradas em regulação termocrômica para o ambiente construído

This paper investigates bio-inspired thermochromic properties with potential applications in sustainable construction, drawing on the biological systems of plant leaves and flowers. It explores concepts related to natural thermochromic responses and biological modulation processes based on chromatophores, structures, and pigmentation that influence the absorption of light and heat. The analysis integrates principles of biomimetics, architecture, and materials science, assessing the potential of bio-inspired strategies for optimising energy efficiency in buildings. By examining the natural thermal regulation mechanisms found in plants, the study identifies possibilities for adapting these systems to the built environment. The research highlights how biological principles can underpin sustainable architectural solutions, contributing to reduced energy consumption and environmental impact. This work underscores the importance of biomimetics as an innovative tool to integrate functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability, driving advancements in the construction sector and forging connections between intelligent design and natural processes.
