COReeol

COReeol is a biomimetic material inspired by natural plant structures, designed to improve energy efficiency and thermal regulation in building applications. The term "COReeol" combines "core" to indicate its central structural role and "reol," derived from biological concepts related to cellular or tissue organization.

The material emulates the hierarchical organization found in plant cell walls, particularly focusing on how plant tissues optimize the flow of heat and moisture through structures that are both lightweight and durable. By mimicking these biological strategies, COReeol aims to enhance insulation properties while allowing controlled permeability, reducing energy consumption in heating and cooling systems.

The core advantage of COReeol lies in its ability to manage thermal transfer through innovative surface topologies and material compositions inspired by natural cellular architectures. It employs a system of microstructures that direct heat flow and moisture exchange, similar to how plant tissues regulate internal conditions to adapt to environmental changes. This biomimetic approach contributes to more resilient and sustainable construction materials.

Developed through interdisciplinary research spanning biology, materials science, and engineering, COReeol’s design incorporates environmentally friendly substances that are recyclable and non-toxic. Its adaptable nature allows for integration into various building components, such as wall panels, insulation layers, and roofing systems.

COReeol exemplifies the potential of biomimicry to create sustainable building materials that harmonize with natural processes. Its development aligns with broader efforts to reduce environmental impacts while enhancing indoor comfort and energy efficiency in urban infrastructure.
