Abstract

Energy requirements in the design, construction and use of buildings have a major impact on the consuming of energy resources. For this reason, it is important to build buildings in a way that is least harmful to the environment and energy efficient. The façade, which is the first surface where the building communicates with the external environment, is the part that affects energy usage the most. Figure A. Basic principles for energy efficiency in building facadesPurpose: The main aim of this study is to find the answer of the question; "Can solutions for providing energy efficiency in building facade systems be designed by taking inspiration from the systems in nature?" Theory and Methods: The methods of providing these energy efficient solutions (efficiency, protection, production, etc.) of biomimetic façade systems inspired by nature have been examined through the sample projects identified. Following the required literature review, five examples of projects with different features were examined. At each project inspired by different organisms; firstly, it has been analyzed how organisms develop air, water/moisture, heat, and light regulation strategies through structure, skin, surface or layer. It was determined that these strategies are transferred to the facade systems at which level and approach of biomimicry. In biomimetic façade systems, it was determined at which level these strategies are used in the system and what type of façade system was used. After the energy efficient solutions provided by the system in line with the determined principles were analyzed one by one, the projects were evaluated with a comparative table in line with these principles.Results: As a result of the evaluation, it has been determined that energy efficient facade systems can be designed with sustainable, innovative and alternative solutions offered by the biomimetic approach. In addition, it has been observed that energy efficiency is achieved by producing solutions for air and water regulation with especially heat and light regulation, in biomimetic facade systems. Conclusion:When designing energy efficient facade systems, biological solutions should be well defined and integrated into the design according to the problems experienced in the creation of facade designs. In addition, in order to obtain more reliable and clear data, it is recommended that biomimetic project analysis be performed with energy simulation programs and energy performance calculation methods.
