Bio-mimetic approach for office buildings skin adaptable design

Abstract

The research aims to comparative analytical study of different bio-mimetic approaches to reduce the energy consumed in an office building because Energy efficiency is a low cost way to save money, support job growth, reduce pollution, and improve the competitiveness of businesses., and stores consume a lot of energy—and money. Bio-mimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is the study of natural forms, systems and processes in nature in order to find more effective and sustainable ways to design and engineer products, buildings and service systems1. The way how natural systems operate can be applied to architecture to lessen its environmental impact and to increase its efficiency Assuming that the bio-mimetic approach is one of the solutions used to solve energy problems in an office building because the correlation between biology and architecture has aligned and the two are increasingly become more intertwined. In light of increasing carbon emissions and the rise of the green building sector, architects are becoming increasingly more innovative in their design schemes. They have found that through a combination of integrated natural and built environments, a number of positive results, including reduced environmental damage, pleasing and innovative aesthetics and the low costs associated with building sustainably, can be achieved.
