This book delves into the intricate process behind the creation of a comprehensive thermo-bio-architectural framework, known as the ThBA. This groundbreaking framework establishes a seamless connection between the thermal performance requirements of a building and solutions derived from the natural world. By integrating biology into architectural design for the first time, this book offers a profound understanding of thermoregulatory strategies in animals and plants, and how these can be translated into equivalent solutions in architectural design. By incorporating this fundamental knowledge and employing a systematic approach to accessing it, the book presents a wealth of opportunities to develop energy-efficient and sustainable buildings that harmonize with the environment. This innovative approach to architecture holds the potential to revolutionize the way we design and construct buildings, fostering a greener and more sustainable future.
