<br/><br/> Nanomaterials are one of the most important technologies to improve the built environment. This study examines the impact of nanotechnology in future architecture, clarifying the applications of nanotechnology in glass especially. We also discuss using glass treated nanotechnology with different WWR for facades with four office building archetype models in new capital to improve energy efficiency by using Design Builder program. The results showed how the glass can comply with the requirements of the Egyptian energy code. The results also indicate that the use of glass treated nanotechnology reduce energy consumption for office buildings new capital by 31% approximately
