Commercializing Usage of Nano-insulating Materials in Building Industry and Future Architecture

AbstractNowadays sustainable development plays a vital role in management. One of the basic policies in environmental sustainability is related to management of non-reproducible resource. One of the fundamental solutions to reach the sustainability is finding some ways to reduce the consumption of the fossil fuels.Since building industry plays a very significant role in the resource consumption, using the thermal insulation is one of these major solutions which can help us to construct buildings without consuming energy. Many different materials are designed for thermal insulation, like Nano-insulation, but most of them are not used in building industry. The most important questions about these kinds of materials are: what is the problem of using Nano-insulation and how can these materials be industrialized for the building industry? To answer these questions, after reviewing the current traditional thermal insulation materials and explaining the advantages of the Nano-insulation materials, a model of challenges of commercializing usage of Nano-insulating materials is presented. Studies illustrate that new Nano-materials should get through some specific processes in order to be guaranteed their usage in the building industry
