Energy Efficiency and Biomimetics
Testing the ThBA for two extreme climates in New Zealand, highlighted the fact that the simple translation of the majority of biological thermal adaptation principles are being used by architects, although for some, the architectural equivalents did not function in exactly in the same way as biological thermoregulation strategies.
Bio-Inspired Materials
The range of innovative bio-inspired materials is not broad, and most of the published research seems to be about one-off cases. Current research on bio-inspired materials used in architectural and building science is reviewed, and a new classification scheme for clustering relevant data is presented.
