Abstract

The present research casts light on the recent development in discovering a novelty in the field of technology which needs staying up with the latest updates with this innovation which has prompted nanotechnology. This has become the most important technology connected with our daily life and many activities and fields. The manufacture of many of the products on the market depends on nanotechnology, whereas the control of materials in the ultra-small-scale nanometer is a revolution in contemporary technology in all areas of life, especially in materials design, construction methods, and architectural perceptions. The research addresses the definition of nanotechnologies and their applications through the use of nanomaterials and applies them in the construction field, which led to a high evaluation of sustainable buildings that are compatible with the environment. The Specific Programs Building attached to the Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University is selected as the case study where nano-insulation materials are applied to help improve the performance of the building and reduce the energy consumed, especially in building cooling operations.
