The use of nanotechnology in architecture gives us a huge step towards a better built environment, the integration of nanomaterials with building envelope can improve building thermal performance in hot arid climates of Egypt. This research represents a comparison between the energy consumption and thermal performance of Nano and traditional materials, finally the research represents the recommendations and results to understand the possibility of using nanotechnology in buildings ER -
