In this whiteboard animation, I present sustainable solutions inspired by nature for construction, architecture as well as ventilation, heating and cooling buildings. 25% of the total CO2 emissions worldwide are attributed to heat and energy and residential and commercial buildings are responsible for about half this 25%, so 12% of total greenhouse gas emissions so we need to do better on this.

4:06 Ventilation inspired by bees
4:48 Wind energy inspired by schooling fish
5:40 Wind energy visually inspired by nature
6:15 Music inspired by nature

Do you know other biomimicry examples that can directly address sustainability and climate change issues? Please share them below… 👍
El salto más significativo en tecnología llegará gracias a la biomimética. Pienso que es posible crear dispositivos que usen el diseño y comportamiento de las semillas como base para formar estructuras en otros planetas o satélites usando los recursos locales.
Una semilla no es un dispositivo mágico. Usa la física y la química para formar estructuras de todo tipo. Desde delicadas flores, hasta gigantescos y pesados troncos, a partir de una pequeña capsula llena de información que libera mecanismos a medida que absorbe, procesa y organiza los minerales disponibles en el suelo.
Transportar semillas artificiales al espacio, ayudaría a construir estructuras, módulos y generar materias primas de manera más rápida, económica, eficiente y sustentable que en la actualidad.
Se me hace un poco extraño que propuestas así no se toquen en ningún canal que hable sobre "biomimética" o "bioinspiración". De hecho, también se está trabajando en bacterias que pueden ayudar a construir hormigón en otros lugares usando los recursos locales, sin embargo, poca información se divulga al respecto.
Cuando veo las animaciones donde se hablan de proyectos para poblar otros planetas como Marte, se me hace un poco difícil creer que sigan planteando la opción de transportar toneladas y toneladas de material en naves espaciales para construir módulos y cosas así. Más que la propuesta de un proyecto serio, parece la animación de una historia de Julio Verne, donde al parecer, ni los mismos encargados del marketing han sido informados de las nuevas tecnologías que ya se están desarrolando.
1:30 it should be CaCO3. Not CACO3.
Ancient Greek buildings are very sustainable. Itll last more than a thousand years.
The way you choose to use graphics in this video are perfect for me, really adds clarity to your explanations, so I end up learning a lot more. Thank you, you do a great job
Very informative👍👍👍
Thank you.
❤️
THIS IS SO AWESOME
Great!
3:16 so it use a layer or trapezoidal shaped Elements with high points and low points? 🤔
Excellent video! I just shared this with my YT community. I am planning to create more short videos on specific biomimicry applications later this year. Great work! I recommend watching a series on CuriosityStream called 'Evolve' hosted by Patrick Aryee. The show focuses on biomimicry applications for solving human societal problems and is absolutely stunning.
Nice video.
Bon choix d'exemple
Thank you
Is it possible to buy wind trees for privat use? If so, where would you start your search for providers of theese or similar products?
There’s one of those wind trees near my house. Unfortunately they placed it around buildings and trees in a dense area, so I have never seen it move.
I would love to have such a wind tree in my garden. Why don't we make a tiny wind tree forest close to villages. Much better than those huge and ugly Windturbines planted all over the place.
India: Wonderful work !! Keep going 🙂
@sustainability illustrated Do you think that there is any way to achieve or design sustainable buildings through geometrical form or shapes?
How awesome it is to copy natural process. 😀
Subscribed📡📻🖤
My teacher forced me against my will to watch this I’m still in therapy
Usefull❤️
Its amazing !
This was great with good explanation. I've been interested in sustainable design solutions and Larsen Engineers offers great services for that.
Really interesting and informative video, thank you for sharing this!
