Abstract

The effective use of sustainable renewable energy sources is emphasized heavily in the vision for Oman’s energy industry in 2040 as a crucial tactic in reaching the objective of net-zero buildings. This calls for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially by improving the efficiency of building facades in metropolitan settings. Biomimicry is a potentially effective approach that utilizes natural phenomena as a source of inspiration to develop novel techniques that mimic diverse creatures, their behaviors, and ecosystems.
