The article considers the problems of developing green building technologies and standards for the Russian construction industry using nanotechnology products, using roofing as an example. Buildings increasingly incorporate new construction materials, these include the use of sustainable nanotechnology products, creating new conditions for improving efficiency and safety generally, thereby providing a comfortable built environment for future generations. Nanotechnology in construction performs complex tasks, providing a competitive advantage in comparison with conventional technologies for facility managers, who thereby inherit buildings constructed with high quality building materials and operating more energy-efficient engineering equipment.
