Abstract:
Recycling process is one of the most important processes in the trend of sustainable development, a logical reaction against the problems that results from industrial age. Building materials can play an important role in the process of a building formation or destruction, in fact, materials forms the building nature. Thus, the role of material and the impact of its recycling in sustainable development context cannot be ignored. Also, due to the rate of destruction and renewals that exist in cities and considering to the point that almost half of fuel storages are consumed in the buildings, the mass of materials that are sources of potential energy, should not be ignored. So, it is obvious that finding a fundamental solution in this area is necessary. In terms of research performance, this study is qualitative and as descriptive-comparative investigation and selection of the concepts is based on library and documentary methods, surveying some characteristics of recycling which in terms of quality and technique effect on architecture has been attempted in this research. Therefore, the role of recycling materials and the importance of their potential energy in the trend of sustainable development are investigated in this paper by descriptive-comparative method and appropriate and optimum solutions provided in order to reduce energy consumption in the field of construction and building materials.

Therefore, the role of recycling materials and the importance of their potential energy in the trend of sustainable development are investigated in this paper by descriptive-comparative method and appropriate and optimum solutions provided in order to reduce energy consumption in the field of construction and building materials.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) From the beginning of construction to the end of building destruction, LCA is used for evaluating the building effectiveness; it is a criterion to evaluate ecological values of materials such as energy or a product like brick than environmental criteria.
Investigating the results and comparing them with the relevant standards indicate that produced bricks can be used in different parts of buildings, while the existed paper in brick composition due to heating value is effective on fuel cost saving at brickyard furnace (Bahrami, 2007; Institute of standard and industrial research of Iran 2009; 2010).
Nanotechnology will play directly or indirectly an important role in producing appropriate materials with desired properties in different parts of the building and installations and the related cooling and heating equipment according to our needs and demands to reduce energy consumption."
