Biomimicry and Sustainable Building Performance 1st Edition

Biomimicry and Sustainable Building Performance (1st Edition) by Olusegun Aanuoluwapo Oguntona and Clinton Ohis Aigbavboa offers an inspiring, research-driven roadmap for rethinking how buildings perform in a warming world. Combining ecological wisdom with contemporary engineering and architecture, this book draws on biomimetic principles to help designers, engineers, and sustainability professionals create healthier, more efficient, and resilient buildings across Africa and worldwide.

Explore clear explanations of core concepts—how nature’s strategies inform thermal regulation, water management, material selection, and energy efficiency—paired with practical design approaches and performance assessment tools. The authors translate complex theory into actionable guidance, with a focus on measurable outcomes: reduced energy demand, improved indoor comfort, and lower lifecycle environmental impact. Whether you’re a practising architect in Lagos, a sustainability consultant in Johannesburg, or a policy planner in London, the insights here are globally relevant and locally adaptable.

Readers will appreciate the balance of theory and application: conceptual frameworks, illustrative case studies, and step-by-step methods for integrating biomimicry into project workflows. The tone is professional yet accessible, making advanced topics usable for multidisciplinary teams working on green building certification, retrofit projects, and new sustainable developments.

This edition is ideal for university courses, professional reference libraries, and practitioners pursuing innovative, nature-inspired solutions to contemporary building challenges. Bring nature into your design process and elevate building performance with strategies grounded in biomimicry.
