Revolutionizing Portable Energy: The Promise of DMFCs Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are emerging as a groundbreaking technology in the realm of energy conversion, poised …
The article “Biomimicry: Using Nature-Inspired Design for Energy-Efficient Buildings” by Camille Rustici delves into the innovative field of biomimicry in construction, highlighting the groundbreaking work of …
Biologist confirmed the ThBA is effective in bridging biology and architecture based on the existing thermal challenges in buildings, and is comprehensive in terms of generalising biological thermal adaptation strategies.
Biomimicry has attracted the attention of scholars and architects because of its potential for contributing to the design of energy efficient buildings. Given the importance of energy efficient buildings in reducing global building energy consumption, the aim of this research was to investigate the practical usefulness of a framework developed for designing bio-inspired energy efficient office buildings.
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.
SlowLoris can be web-based and is totally independent of all current energy data visualisation software and complementary energy plugins. It uses the Grasshopper interface and its components to construct graphs. It is mainly targeted at optimising the visual representation of energy results and does not need highly skilled experts to be used effectively.
