This study seeks to deconstruct the conventional structures with green architecture topics such as the reduced power consumption and to make the application of technologies in achieving the objectives of green architecture computational and executive by entering the topic of Nanomaterials and its applied application in green architecture. In addition to the focus on the Nanomaterials in green architecture, this study has sought to indicate that what profound impacts the practical applications of technology in green architecture have on the macro economy of country and the economical status of family by doing some statistical calculations and tests. A summary of some of the Nanomaterials, which are used in green architecture, is presented after the theoretical principles. In this study, Pearson correlation coefficient has been used for testing the statistical hypotheses and the advance method of Partial Least Squares (PLS) has been used for evaluating the subsidiary hypotheses and finally, Friedman test for ranking the variables of subsidiary hypotheses. In this study, the regression method has been used for indicating the equation of energy (electricity) consumption and finally the suggestions have been proposed for power manufacturing and consumption planning at the macro level of country and also in the field of reducing the energy loss in the residential and industrial structures about the green architecture by using the Nanomaterials. Keywords: Green architecture, future buildings, nanomaterials, nanotechnology INTRODUCTION Nanomaterials technology (Building materials) has a great potential for compliance with the environment (Soltani, 2007). Nanotechnology is now used in manufacturing the humans' daily consumption such as garment, cosmetics, tools, types of coatings and insulators, medicine and so on. Nanomaterials have been defined as the materials which at least one of its dimensions (length, width and thickness) is below 100 nm. A nanometer is 1000 of a μm or about 100000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. Physical and chemical properties of Nanomaterials (which existed in several shapes and forms such as particles, fibers, lumped, etc.) are fundamentally different with other types of microscopic materials. Fundamental changes are not only at the level of Nanoscale in terms of small size but in terms of new properties. Najafi (2002), the nanotechnology industry plays the fundamental role in the industries of building. In this regard, the major role is played by the insulators, different types of used tubes in the buildings, glass and concrete. Applying the Nano particles in the building industry in the main structures generally increases the mechanical properties and Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) are the most important ones in this regard. In the building envelope and interior finishes, the application of building Nanocoatings is so important in interior and exterior facade of buildings is. Not only the Nanocoatings of building desorb the water and minimize the absorption of pollutants, but also make the façade resistant to UV radiation (Asadifard, 2004). Nanocoatings are used on the surfaces such as cement, brick, clay, typical stone, tile, marble, wood, ceramic, glass, steel and concrete. Nanomaterials are also used in the building materials as the reinforced concrete, self- cleaning and fire resistant glass which controls and save the energy consumption, in using nano colors which are resistant to the influence of bacteria in administrative, residential buildings, hospitals and so on. Thus it can easily be determined that we are facing with a new world of nanotechnology. Nanoscience experts believe that after producing the steam machinery, engines and development of IT, the Nanotechnology will create the new horizons for the human world. Nanotechnology is able to minify the materials, thus the new materials and technologies can be introduced to the world by rebuilding. For instance, the clay and ceramics can be changed into the dimensions of Nanoscale and mixed with nanopolymers as the powder; and the strong and resistant materials, which have never been provided, can be created in a neutral environment. In line with the application of sustainable concepts and development in the architecture, the topic "Green Architecture" is an effort to preserve the environment and create the human welfare. The building, which has the least inconsistency
