Emission intensity of AAC concrete block - average strength - 140 mm thickness - 440 mm length - 215 mm width.. Density 600 kg per m3. Average UK mixture of 61% pfa aggregate 14% other aggregates 14% cement 8% quicklime 3% water. Also contains small amounts of aluminium powder as the expansion agent. These results are based upon an EPD number EPD-BPC-20170093-CCD1-EN produced by Aircrete Products Association (APA) a product group of British Precast. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
