摘要: Abstract With the enforcement of Emirati energy conservation code, thermal insulation was introduced as an efficiency measure. Recently, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) has been presented a green material masonry that can provide necessary properties without use materials. This work assesses impact AAC and compares them with number possible alternatives, including techno-economic analysis. study shows density blocks is about four times lower than ordinary similar size thickness lighter in weight higher resistance by 11 times. At this level block density, resistance, satisfy code requirements addition The economic analysis demonstrates cost-effectiveness walls some emirates moderate saving-to-investment ratio more 3 payback time less 9 years. concludes residential sector be reduced 7% if are used. Each square meter ACC save almost 350 kg CO2 emissions throughout its life cycle.
