I think in construction nanotechnology today helping companies to offer add-ons to product surfaces, such as stain resistance, color durability, self-cleaning properties, and scratch resistance. Nanotechnology in construction is also being used to enhance thermal performance. Thermal products like aerogels (lightweight solids made from silica and carbon) are benefiting from nanotechnology.

I could say that nanomaterial producers promise great advantages from the use of nanotechnology in construction. Nanotechnology promises to benefit construction by Producing window glasses that require less maintenance, Creating floors that are scratch proof, Strengthening structural material, Manufacturing house paint that will last long and Producing building materials that are corrosion and UV resistant

With use of “nano-dust” or “speckled computing” (nano-sized detection systems) is an exciting prospect both for the monitoring of civil works – in which levels of strain or other information can be determined on a surface wide basis – as well as in the field of building environmental and lighting detection and control. The concept of building wide monitoring of heat, light and air quality opens up the prospect of much more efficient allocation of resources.
