A variety of Biomimicry Templates were developed from peer-reviewed research into biological ventilation methods. These templates were then ranked with the templates that were the most supported and potentially beneficial being developed through CFD into concept designs. The objective of this was to incorporate them into more energy-efficient building designs. A range of concepts were tested, with some leading to significant improvement in ventilation rates, while others demonstrated issues in scaling up/adaption to human dwellings.
