Title:
Nano Architecture’s
Role to Mitigate the Global Warmin
Abstract
The previous gathered information and
studies , were presented and examined to cover all the aspects of the addressed
problem throughout this master thesis which is ”NanoArchitecture’s role to mitigate
the Global warming”. It defines the Nanoarchitecture and the terms related to
it and its important role to mitigate the globalwarmiing crisis, through
innovations of nanomaterials used in the new generation of architecture named
as nanoarchitecture ,decreasing the bad contributions of the current
architecture and construction sectors towards the environment and the climate.
After addressing the global warming problem, its main causes, and its negatives
impacts on the environmental level and studying the solutions that
nanomaterials offer in the field of Architecture, construction and renewable
energy, nanoarchitecture’s role and its innovations seems to be the perfect
solution in decreasing the global warming problem and sustaining the climate
through providing practical solutions, and modem technologies in the present
time, and in the near future, it contribute significantly in minimizing the
damages, creating new clean, carbon free, and healthy environment. Also some
projections of this new trend in architecture were assumed concerning the local
architecture and the results were promising. The aim of the thesis was finally
achieved at the end of the thesis. This summary reviews all the findings
carried out through the stages of the thesis and the following points are worth
mentioning: The Maior contributor to globalwarming:
The main reasons of Global warming is
Green house gases (GHG) , mainly the Carbon dioxide gas emissions .
The building sector contributes up to
30 of global annual green house gas emissions and consumes up to 40 of all
energy. Given the massive growth in new construction in economies, in
transition, and the inefficiencies of existing building stock worldwide, if
nothing is done, greenhouse gas emissions from buildings will more than double
in the next 20 years. Actions must be taken and a mitigation goal must be set
to stop this crisis from getting worth. The main two axees in the process of
mitigation are: Decreasing the energy consumptions and reducing the
Carbondioxide emissions of the buildings’ and construction sectors . The
reduction of carbondioxide emissions which is the major cause ofthe global
warming is carried out in two ways directly and indirectly. •The direct
reduction of C02 is carried out through involving nanomaterials in the built
environment, these nanomaterials absorb the surrounding C02 emissions. •While
the indirect reduction of C02 is through decreasing the energy consumed by the
building through innovation solutions of nanocoatings, nanoinsulations, dynamic
materials, nanoenhanced construction materials , efficient lighting , involving
nanomodified photovoltaics and wind farms, that provide clean energy for
operating the buildings.
