The traditional bricks are the main building materials that used extensively in construction and industry. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks recently one of newly adopted materials. aerated concrete (AAC) is a product fly ash which mixed with lime, cement, water an aerating agent. AAC mainly produced as cuboid prefabricated panels. type manufactured to contain lots closed air voids. energy efficient, durable, less dense, lightweight. It by adding foaming additive different sizes molds per requirement, then wire-cutting these or panels from resulting ‘cake lump’ ‘heating them steam. This process called Autoclaving. has been observed this material eco-friendly being industrial waste composed non-toxic ingredients. In paper, overview reference its potential sustainability novel presented. paper also presents comparative cost analysis Blocks Red clay suitability use
