Abstract

The study addressed the effects of nanotechnology on building construction and performance, aiming to analyze the impacts of nanotechnology on building construction processes and their functional and environmental performance. It employed a theoretical analytical methodology encompassing three main axes: structural materials (concrete, steel, wood), finishing materials (glass, paints), and non-structural materials (insulation, solar cells). The research relied on a comparative descriptive analysis of material properties before and after nano-treatment, supported by a study of six global application models (e.g., the Regency Church of Life - Japan and the Italian Pavilion at Expo Milan 2015).
The results revealed substantial improvements in durability: a 30% increase in concrete strength using nanosilica, and a 40% reduction in maintenance costs for self-cleaning façades.
Sustainability efficiency: saving 46,000 kWh annually at the California Training Center through phase-change materials (PCMs), Nanotechnology risks: health hazards (inhalation of 45% of nanoparticles among workers), and environmental challenges (accumulation of 30% non-biodegradable materials).
The discussion highlighted a research gap in Arab environments, represented by the scarcity of quantitative studies on material durability under harsh climatic conditions. The study concluded with practical recommendations including: enhancing scientific research tailored to Arab conditions, establishing regulatory standards for occupational safety, and integrating nanotechnology into smart building systems, affirming that this technology represents a fundamental shift in the trajectory of sustainable architecture despite existing challenges.
