FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT OF BIOPHILIC MODEL FOR CORPORATE BUILDINGS

Abstract

Environmental degradation and unorganized cities are rising issues because of a growing population in an era of fast globalization. People confronted a dilemma with denser and congested urban development, which highlighted the fragility of towns and their residents. There are no such rules that govern the general equilibrium of the ecosystem due to rising urbanization and unplanned cities. As a result, global temperatures will rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050. Rapid building has made a substantial impact on the natural world to meet the requirements of a rising population. It contributes to global warming by generating more than 30% of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases. Buildings are the largest energy consumers and equivalent to approximately 40% of all substantial energy sources for example nuclear energy, hydropower, and fossil fuels. Sustainable construction and development methods are being used to reduce negative consequences and create an environment that is more environmentally friendly. Applying biophilic design concepts in building construction to generate connections between individuals and the environment is one method of achieving sustainability. The various categories of biophilic design are identified, evaluated, and their key components discussed in this study's thorough literature research. Next, using building evaluation methods, we examine the advantages of biophilic design in attaining sustainability, including improved health, wellness, work efficiency, and revenue generation. The results help in developing a biophilic model framework that can be used by designers and architectures for a more sustainable, healthy and resilient environment in the corporate sector. In addition, by indicating the framework, knowledge gaps are discovered to spur further investigation and practical examination of biophilic design approaches.
