Textured Building Façades: Utilizing Morphological Adaptations Found in Nature for Evaporative Cooling

The overheating of buildings and their need for mechanical cooling is a growing issue as a result of climate change. The main aim of this paper is to examine the impact of surface texture on heat loss capabilities of concrete panels through evaporative cooling. Organisms maintain their body temperat...
