AIARE presents a Happy Hour + Panel Discussion:
Practical Applications of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Masonry in Local Jurisdictions
WHEN: Thurs. August 17th | 4:00 - 6:00pm


EARN: 1.0 LU (pending course approval)

Join AIARE, Building Officials from Sonoma County and City of Santa Rosa, Title 24 Panel Member and AAC experts as we discuss the recent breakthroughs and merits of building with AAC in California’s fire-prone regions.

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a type of precast concrete with an expansion agent that rises the mixture, similar to yeast in bread dough. Once cured, this type of concrete contains about 80% air. Autoclaved aerated concrete is factory-made, and the material is molded into blocks or slabs with precise dimensions.
