Description
Summary:In light of the current energy crisis affecting the world, as it constitutes a great economic burden, and with the increase in consumption of natural environment resources, the environment has been negatively affected, which has had a negative impact on human health. Therefore, the problem is summarized in how to achieve environmental sustainability in architecture using nanotechnology. The research used the descriptive analytical approach: the theoretical study presents the concept of sustainability, sustainable design, nanotechnology, nanomaterials, applications of nanotechnology in the field of architecture. An analytical study of one of the existing administrative buildings that achieved sustainability without the use of nanomaterials. Practical study: an applied experiment for one of the thermal insulation nanomaterials, based on the study and attempts to reach accurate results. The practical experience has proven good results in achieving thermal insulation and access to thermal comfort in case of use of nanomaterials in buildings.
