AAC is an Advanced Building Technology Suitable for Coastal and Flood Prone Areas
AAC and Advanced Green Buildings ‘V’ Zone Coastal Construction ‘V’ Zone = coastal - high velocity zone
AAC and ‘A’ Zone Construction Ground Floors with Breakaway Walls or Large Flood Vents ‘A’ Zone = coastal - low velocity zone
AAC Construction Types With AAC block or plank
AAC is 75% lighter than conventional concrete AAC Block Installation
AAC Plank Installation 1 Cubic Foot of AAC = Approx. 37 ½ lbs 1 Cubic Foot of Concrete = Approx. 150 lbs 1 Cubic Yard of AAC = Approx. 1,000 lbs or ½ Ton 1 Cubic Yard of Concrete = Approx. 4,000 lbs or 2 Tons
Typical AAC Products U-Block Cored Block Reinforced Structural Panel (Wall & Roof Panels) Value Blocks (Wide Variety of Sizes) Jumbo Blocks (Custom Features Available)
AAC and Advanced Green Buildings e r – e p = 0 The most cost-effective energy reduction in buildings occurs during holistic design of building enclosure and HVAC systems; costly onsite energy production is often necessarily seen as secondary. Therefore the first step of net zero energy design should always be focused on materials and systems that will reduce energy consumption Energy Reduction –Energy Production = Net Zero Energy
AAC Mass Walls and LEED Mass Walls can account for LEED credits, commonly: Energy and Atmosphere Energy Credit 1 – Optimize Energy Performance Materials and Resources Materials Credit 1 – Building Reuse Materials Credit 2 – Construction Waste Management Material Credit 5 – Local/Regional Materials Indoor Environment and Air Quality Environment and Air Quality Credit 4 Innovation and Design Process ID 1: Innovation and Design
Additional AAC Facts AAC’s improved thermal efficiency reduces the heating and cooling load in buildings. AAC’s workability allows accurate cutting, which minimizes the generation of solid waste during use. AAC’s resource efficiency gives it lower environmental impact in all phases of its life cycle, from processing of raw materials to the disposal of AAC waste. AAC’s light weight also saves cost & energy in transportation. AAC's light weight saves labor And it is an ideal material for floodplain construction. AAC has been produced for more than 70 years, and it offers advantages over other cementitious construction materials, one of the most important being its lower environmental impact
