Proposal for Light Shelf System that Applies Biomimicry for Lighting Energy Conservation

Various methods are being proposed to reduce the usage of lighting energy in buildings. However, those methods are not being applied practically due to issues such as external environmental factors. Therefore, this study analyzed the existing lighting energy conservation systems to propose a system that applies biomimicry as a method to supplement vulnerabilities. As a method of analysis, the concept and cases of light shelf systems. second, study on the concept of biomimicry and life forms evolved by adapting to the external environment. third a triple light shelf system with applied biomimicry is proposed and the architectural application method is analyzed and studied. As a result a triple light shelf system applying biomimicry is proposed. In conclustion the existing light shelf system cannot respond to the external environment. Meanwhile, the triple light shelf system with applied biomimicry which imitates life forms that adapt and evolve according to the external environment can respond immediately to the outside environment of the building, and it is expected to establish a pleasant environment for people indoors as well as to bring lighting energy reduction effects in the building
