Nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines, including civil engineering and construction materials. However, the potential for application of many of the developments in the nanotechnology field in the area of construction engineering has been growing. The paper review the sustainable usage of nano based materials like carbon nanotube, electrochromic windows, sandviknanoflex™, nanowires, titanium dioxide, nanoceramic coating, nanocrystalline materials, nanosilica, nanocomposites, MMFX2 steel, nanometals, nanofibres, nanomyte™ mend MW, nanocement, which could be used for providing singular or multiple functions of potential reinforcement, corrosion resistance, insulation, fire protection, temperature resistance, reducing air conditioning loads, pollution control, UV ray absorption, lighting, when used as a part of building materials.
