IMPACT FACTS
Integrated low-cost eco-friendly construction system for diverse buildings, community and residential housing projects that use Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) - a technically adaptable material that complies with green and economic requirements.
AAC is made from mostly natural raw elements, including sand, quick lime, cement, calcium sulphate, water and air (75%). It’s internationally recognised for being durable, pollution and emissions free, as well as fire, termite and pest resistant and for providing high thermal and acoustic insulation. Product and project cycle involve minimal use of natural resources, reduced consumption of energy, minimal onsite waste on construction phase and recycling of waste material.
