The combination of large size and dimensional accuracy allows greatly increased productivity. Due to the light weight of AAC, reduced equipment demands are realized. AAC is an inorganic material that contains no toxic substances. It does not slowly decompose and off-gas. Since AAC is both a structural and insulation material, it allows the elimination of other materials that can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
AAC buildings are very energy efficient.
AAC is the only product currently available that meets Germany's stringent energy codes without added insulation. It is well documented that the R-value of a mass product need not be as high as that of light frame construction, to perform thermally efficient. AAC is an inorganic, insect resistant, solid wall construction material. The solid wall construction of a building made of AAC provides excellent sound abatement, greatly reducing outside environmental noise, providing a quieter, more comfortable interior for the occupants. AAC has proven to be a very durable material.
