Biomimicry as a model for eco system development. Proposed model:

Smart Buildings and Built Environments will have energy to empower stakeholders and their ecosystems when internal and external energies are dynamically balanced; They fail when they become too rigid, waste resources or fall too far out of balance.

Buildings, like natural living systems, must evolve internally and externally as other systems in their universe change. “Energy,” “Economy” and “Environment” are symbolic of many variables -- including people, families, communities and organizations of all kinds; power grids, food, water/waste management systems and the communication/transportation systems that connect them.

The opportunity is to create and maintain smart, dynamically balanced buildings and built environments that optimize the available energy/resource mix and empower the resilient development of smart people, buildings, built environments and ecosystems.
