Abstract

The built environment significantly contributes to global carbon emissions, with building operations alone responsible for over 25% of emissions and cement production accounting for 6–7% of anthropogenic CO₂ output (Wang et al., 2022; Andrew, 2018).
Aim: To evaluate the potential of biomimicry-based architectural concepts to minimize both embodied and operational carbon emissions
