Abstract

The Sustainable Development Strategy - Egypt 2030 - represents a step towards improving the quality of daily life and taking into account the rights of future generations Nanotechnology is one of the most important sustainability applications because the materials generated by this technology achieve sustainability goals and standards in that they are environmentally friendly materials and help reduce emissions of harmful substances and extend the life of buildings that directly contribute to the development of architecture.
Public building facilities across the world, including Egypt, are exposed to many climatic changes, which show a negative impact on existing building materials and the maintenance of their finishing, thus requiring the need to address the use of building materials with modern specifications that meet sustainability standards. Building materials that interfere with the manufacture of nanotechnology, with their characteristics and advantages, can counteract the effects of climate changes and address the situation in many regions' buildings.
The study aims to develop the facades of buildings near beaches in coastal cities, identify some of the building materials that are used to finish the facades of buildings in those areas and their vulnerability to the surrounding climatic factors, and identify the nanomaterials that can be used in finishing work to protect the facades from the impact of these factors.
