“…It segregates the outdoor and indoor conditions of the buildings by incorporating advanced materials and tools (e.g., warm mass, highly reflective materials, external concealing devices, etc.) on walls, rooftop, and fenestration of the buildings (Nalcaci and Nalcaci, 2020). As a result, the energy consumption can be reduced along with the improvement of indoor environment (air quality and thermal comfort) of the buildings including the reduction of CO 2 emissions.…”

“…Heating or cooling the indoor air consumes the majority of the energy utilized in any building or structure. For instance, turning up the cool indoors while it's hot outside [8] [9]. By carefully selecting the exterior wall, roof, door, window, and ground surfer materials as well as the architecture of the enclosed space, which can have a significant impact on the energy usage over a building's entire life cycle, it is possible to significantly reduce the energy required for space heating or cooling.…”

Nowadays, energy has become a key player in the AEC industry because of the increase in global warming and energy crisis. Due to global warming the consumption of energy has increased enormously in buildings. The no. of buildings have grown in tandem with rise in levels of urbanization in developing & developed countries, which in return rises the bar for energy consumption. The improved energy performance of the building is significantly influenced by both interior and exterior building factors. It is preferred to perform energy analysis in the design stage of the building. The current paper is the talks about the energy model by improving the design of a conventional buildings, an energy – efficient model is been created which uses less energy and reduces its carbon footprint. Energy analysis using BIM can be used to optimize the building’s design and identify opportunities for improvement, such as implementing energy-saving technologies, improving insulation and air tightness, and reducing energy loss through window frames, it’s glazing type and also redesigning the other parameters including HVAC types, Window shades, change in orientation etc. In the earlier, the conventional model to produce energy through renewable sources like solar and wind, and incorporate them into the building’s design. Thus, obtained results after analysis can be used to take design decisions and ensure the building meets energy efficiency standards and sustainability goals. The use of BIM in the design and analysis of energy-efficient buildings can help support the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future.

“…Flectofin as a dynamic part of the facade that controls solar gain. (Pawlyn, 2019) Bio-inspired design, also known as biomimicry, is a concept of problem-solving that draws inspiration from nature in terms of functional concepts (Nalcaci and Nalcaci 2020). There are majorly two approaches for applying biomimicry in design process-Problem based approach and Solution based approach.…”

Bio-inspiration is a growing research field in architecture and urban design where this framework is being used to design and develop sustainable solutions and strategies for improving the overall built environment. In buildings, the façade is the most critical element which differentiates the indoor environment from the outdoor environment. The research related to the quantification of the impact of bio-inspired façade on the indoor environment is limited. This research, therefore, aims to evaluate the impact of three-dimensional retro-reflective design on the building facade. The retro-reflective design can functionally perform to reflect off the incident solar radiation along with providing an aesthetical appeal. The research has been conducted on a (2-storey) typical residential building in the United Kingdom using computational simulation. Test building with bio-inspired façade i.e., retro-reflective design is developed in SketchUp and simulated using OpenStudio and EnergyPlus software. The results were compared against the baseline model with similar dimensions (without the bio-inspired design). The surface inside face temperatures and zone air temperatures are analysed to investigate the impact on the indoor environment. The result shows that the bio-inspired façade design reduces the façade internal surface temperature by up to 3.7°C and zone air temperature by up to 1.9°C under UK’s weather conditions during summer.
