Biomimicry as a Framework for Net-Zero Energy Architecture in Tropical Climates: Advancing Sustainable Practices in Design and Performance
The built environment in tropical developing regions faces critical challenges stemming from climate change, rapid urbanization, and rising energy demands. Conventional architectural approaches in hothumid climates, such as those found in West Africa Nigeria, often fail to deliver thermal comfort and energy efficiency, leading to increased dependence on carbon-intensive cooling systems. This paper explores biomimicry, the emulation of nature’s adaptive strategies, as a viable design...
