Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to improve the building skin system created with a nature-inspired biomimetic approach in terms of energy efficiency by considering both design and simulation processes together. Within the scope of the study, the entire architectural integration process of the building skin system developed for the office unit located on the south facade of a fictitious office building in Doha, Qatar was discussed. The effects of the developed biomimetic skin design on cooling load and daylight parameters were analyzed with simulation outputs. As a result of the study, it was determined that the building skin system created with the biomimetic approach provides a sustainable solution in terms of energy efficiency.
