Abstract

University campuses are an alternative role that includes many expatriate students. Accommodation units in university dormitories are one of the main pillars that contribute to the formation and safety of students, and besides providing daily shelter for them, it positively affects their psychological peace and stability. It was noted that there are design shortcomings in these facilities and their contents, as well as shortcomings in making use of nanotechnology applications in its interior design in light of the age of science and technology. For this reason, the use of some nanotechnology applications that help create an interior design that suits the requirements of students and the vocabulary of the interior space of accommodation units in university campuses has been studied.

The insulation that is used in buildings is one of the modern technologies that work on the quality of buildings and maintain the temperature inside the building and protect it from humidity or high heat in the summer, cold and rain in the winter and various weather factors. Therefore, in this research we will study the importance of applying the latest insulation methods. And temperature regulation, as well as moisture- and heat-resistant coatings and self-cleaning, using nanotechnology technology in order to create a good indoor environment.
