Biomimetic Approach for Thermal Performance Optimization in Sustainable Architecture. Case study: Office Buildings in Hot Climate Countries

Abstract Biomimicry is an applied science that mainly depends on deriving inspiration from various natural solutions to human problems for making practical applications through the study and examination of phenomena, designs, systems, processes. Historically, designers have dealt with nature as essential source innovation inspiration. In future architecture, biomimicry will be achieve sustainable design. Thus, paper assumes environmental solution optimizing thermal performance office buildings building’s skin. The purpose this specifically determine clarify effective indicators applying skins in hot climate countries. This accomplished by discussing general concept its definitions, approaches, levels. Then, selected examples biomimetic skin countries shown, analyzed, compared most suggested building As a result, use tool design leads performance, optimum comfort users, increased productivity employers buildings. Based indicators, creative approach achieving support architects, students, scholars
