According to the increase in energy consumption in Egypt, the building materials play a huge role to increase the energy efficiency of the building and reduce energy consumption. 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
