The cities of tomorrow need sustainable building solutions
AAC has some significant environmental advantages over conventional construction materials, meeting longevity, insulation, and structural demands in one material. As an energy and material investment it can often be justified for buildings intended to have a long life.
Weight for weight, AAC has manufacturing, embodied energy, and greenhouse gas emission impacts similar to those of concrete. But based on volume, the impacts can be up to one-fifth that of concrete. AAC products or building solutions may therefore have lower embodied energy per square metre than a concrete alternative. In addition, AAC’s much higher insulation value reduces heating and cooling energy consumption.
Offcuts from construction can be returned to the manufacturer for recycling, or be sent out as concrete waste for reuse in aggregates; alternatively, the odd pieces can be used directly for making, for example, garden walls or landscape features.
