Biomimicry: optimization strategy from nature towards sustainable solutions for energy-efficient building design.

Résumé

The building sector has a key role to implement energy efficiency objectives: around 40% of the energy consumption and a third of CO2 emissions are attributable to buildings. Architects are attempting to find solutions for managing buildings energy consumption. Biomimicry is considered to be a new approach for achieving energy-efficient building design. Although, there have been several achievements of using biomimicry principals to provide guidelines for improving energy efficiency of buildings through applying the principals on building envelope and occasionally on other systems, but if we pose a question on ‘sustainability’ some biomimetic approaches could lead to disadvantages rather than advantages. So far, many architects have missed the heart of biomimicry as a mentor (guide) for design as a new way of viewing and valuing nature, not only mimicking its form. As a measure of design, biomimicry should represent an ecological standard to judge the rightness in innovations in sustainability. The purpose of this analysis is to outline a theoretical framework towards sustainable solutions for energy-efficient building design by overview ‘energy consumption’ and those ‘beyond consumption’ in comparison with optimization strategies from nature, in particular with structure built by animals and their criteria for sustainable architecture. Indeed, biomimicry is at present of growing interest, our research aim is to demonstrate how to use biomimicry as an approach to enhance sustainable solutions for energy efficiency building design.
