Energy Biomimetics

This section is focused on bio-inspired approaches used for reducing the operational energy of different engineering systems including that of buildings. Energy reduction is therefore expected to be achieved through bio-inspired building design, construction, development and energy management, and lighting devices and electrical equipment. Scientific contributions are invited from scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry professionals as a means of disseminating recent design strategies, inventions, and developments in the field. Review papers presenting the state of the art of this research area and identifying new directions for further research are also welcome.
