AAC is a fine aggregate concrete containing air pockets. It is light weight masonry with excellent thermal insulation. It is fireproof, rot-resistant, and fast and easy to install, giving buildings superior properties over conventional wood‐ framed and concrete structures.
The aerated concrete units are used extensively in Europe and Asia, with approximately 2000 operating facilities globally
It is estimated that 150 million people globally are homeless, and that 1.6 billion people are lacking adequate or appropriate housing. Statistics from the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC) tell us that 13% of Canadian households are in core housing need (Core Housing Need Data — By the Numbers | CMHC (cmhc-schl.gc.ca)). In the United States its estimated that 2.5 million additional housing units are needed to make up shortages in housing supply (The Housing Supply Shortage: State of the States – Freddie Mac). In Mexico 53.5 million people do not have the financial means to buy or build decent housing, of which 15.9 million people live in homes with dirt floors and cardboard or tin roofs (Mexico | Habitat for Humanity). Thirty percent of Brazilians live in fravelas (slums) (Housing in Latin America: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, etc – The world of Teoalida).
