You're Greenwashing If You're Not Even Considering AAC

Ecological homesteads. Sustainable and efficient houses. Tiny homes, re-purposed shipping containers, straw bales, hempcrete, earthships, ICFs and other alternative building materials. Maintenance-free structures that are durable, resilient, comfortable and affordable. Have you ever been interested in any of these things? It's possible you've never heard of AAC. In some cases, there are good reasons not to choose AAC but in many cases AAC is better than anything listed. So if you've never considered using AAC before, we're here to help you learn about it. If you'd rather keep thinking about the above and not learn about AAC, you're fooling yourself and missing out.

AAC doesn't win every rap battle

Let's say you're interested in ramming earth into old tires to make an earthship. If you've never heard of earthships, I encourage you to learn more about them. They are the champions of sustainable homes and may be better than AAC in some circumstances.

Everything has both good and bad. Maybe you don't have a lot suitable for an earthship, or you're in an HOA that won't allow them, or (like me) you just don't have it in you to ram all that earth. On the other hand, maybe shipping for AAC blocks is too expensive. What you really need to do is add up all the good and bad for all your options. Not even considering AAC = not serious.

It's why we're here

We chose AAC as the most ecologically-friendly, lowest carbon, and efficient homestead so that we could live maintenance-free in something durable, resilient, comfortable and affordable. Not everything has worked out as we hoped; some has. We understand the advantages and disadvantages of AAC and we want to help you make the best choice you can for yourself when you're thinking about building or know of others who are building.
