Abstract
One of the mile stones for the success of construction projects is the project management triangle (time, cost and quality). During the past decade, a lot of construction systems have been developed to this triangle. GFRG system was one of these systems (for example that was established in Australia), it fulfilled LEED certificate for construction materials. When it is compared with traditional systems in Egypt, Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) system superior to traditional systems in time, cost in case of repetitive projects and quality. The world awareness for sustainability have increased lately in different aspects, thermal comfort is one of the main sustainable aspects that influence users. This paper aims to study thermal comfort for GFRG system in Egypt and comparing with traditional systems, it also aims to study the nanotechnology to develop this construction material in order to increase thermal comfort performance.

One of the mile stones for the success of construction projects is the project management triangle
Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) is the abbreviation for glass fiber reinforced gypsum
GFRG is of particular relevance to India, where there is a tremendous need for cost-effective mass-scale affordable housing, and where gypsum is abundantly available as an industrial by-product waste
Summary
GFRG is the abbreviation for glass fiber reinforced gypsum. It is the name of a new building panel product, made essentially of gypsum plaster, reinforced with glass fibers, and is known in the industry as GFRG [2]. This product, suitable for rapid mass-scale building construction, was originally developed and used since 1990 in Australia. GFRG building panels are presently manufactured as GFRG, for the typical dimensions and material properties described in the manual.
