Resilient buildings have become a widely researched topic in the engineering discipline. A building has enabled connectivity between building systems, including air conditioning, ventilation, safety and security system. They are even more important with growing pandemic risks and the spread of airborne viruses such as Covid-19. The literature indicates that nanotechnology applications can have a great role in the designing resilient office buildings. Nanotechnologies play a major role in architectural design; building materials combined with nanotechnology became smaller, lighter, and more efficient than conventional materials. Thus, this research aims to develop design guidelines for resilient office buildings in Egypt using nanotechnology applications. The methodology applied includes a review on nanotechnology and resilient office buildings key design features, following a simulation using design builder program where conducted to modify the nanomaterials in resilient office buildings recorded through quantified data. After applying the nanotechnology concept on walls, the roof and glazing types by inserting nanomaterials. The research concluded that the use of vacuum insulation panel, Nano-gel glass and Nano-painting had the highest impact on decreasing the total energy consumption by 14.5% and carbon dioxide emissions by 42%.

Nanotechnology has gradually emerged in various sectors, including architecture. Nanotechnology developed nanomaterials as environmentally friendly and highly efficient construction materials. It behaves differently with enhanced functional properties such as durability, strength, flexibility, lighter weight, self-cleaning capacity, etc. This study investigated the impact of integrating nanotechnology into the construction field from two perspectives: to minimize the environmental impact of buildings based on sustainability principles and to improve the functional efficiency of construction materials. The study aims mainly to propose a strategy for evaluating nanomaterials in construction as sustainable materials through four aspects related to sustainability principles. This was achieved progressively through a methodology that commenced with a theoretical study of the basics of nanotechnology and how it relates to the field of sustainable architecture. Moreover, it described and summarized some prevailing nanomaterials used in construction, such as concrete, glass, coatings, and thermal insulation materials. It also reviewed their functional efficiency in line with sustainability. Furthermore, this study examined some case studies based on the proposed strategy to evaluate the utilized nanomaterials in the case studies. On average, this study's results found that the used nanomaterials in the three case studies achieved 54.3% for sustainable design principles, 83% for Sustainable materials criteria, 60.3% for energy efficiency aspects, and 71.7% for ambient environment efficiency factors. On the other hand, it indicates that using nanomaterials in construction reduces harmful carbon emissions and improves the functionality of building materials to boost sustainable architecture.
