Abstract

The research explores the use of biocentric architecture concepts on top with smart building applications to promote sustainable design practices. Biocentric architecture prioritized ecological equilibrium and human well-being. In recent years, the introduction of smart building technology has created new potential to improve biocentric design methods. The research focuses into how smart building technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, data analytics, and automated systems can be used to boost energy efficiency, improve indoor environmental quality, and increase occupant comfort within biocentric architectural frameworks. The research assesses the effectiveness of smart building techniques in supporting biocentric principles by conducting a thorough assessment of literature review and case studies, considering issues such as resource conservation, ecosystem integration, and user-centric design. The findings emphasize the potential synergies between biocentric architecture and smart building technology to create healthier, more sustainable buildings. This study contributes to the on-going environmentally conscious design practices by advancing biocentric architecture with smart building solutions. It also provides insights for architects, urban planners, and policy makers who want to create resilient and liveable cities.
