Go Green.

Here’s a way to build a sustainable tomorrow that encourages the environmental pursuits, and while doing so does not deviate itself from presenting you cost-efficiency and enhancing a healthy social image.

Presenting to you ‘ECOLITE’.

ECOLITE Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks

are brought to you by JVS Comatsco Industries Pvt

Ltd. Made from environmentally-friendly raw

materials; Ecolite is an ideal building material for use

in today’s times.

Ecolite AAC blocks are made using Portland cement

which is mixed with quartz (silica/PFA), water and an

aeration agent, poured into a mould. The reaction

between aeration agent and concrete causes

millions of microscopic bubbles to form, expanding

the concrete. That gives the blocks its unique

properties. These blocks are then cut to size and

formed by steam-curing in a pressurized chamber

(autoclave). The result is a non-organic, non-toxic,

airtight material that can be used for walling.

Sustainable construction

There are many definitions to ‘Sustainable Construction’. To our mind, it means reducing your construction’s impact on the environment as much as possible, while maintaining economy, comfort and durability.

ECOLITE Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks

A Sustainable Alternative

AAC Blocks - A legacy

Builders in India can use the ‘innovative material’ that

Scandinavians have built their homes with for decades.

Although, a popular building material in Europe for over 75

years, in India it has been introduced in the past two decades.

It is an economical, sustainable, solid block that provides

thermal & acoustic insulation as well as fire and termite

resistance. AAC is available in a variety of forms, ranging from

wall and roof panels to blocks and lintels.

AAC Blocks - A Green Building Component

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block is well known as

an environmentally friendly construction material. The

energy consumed in the production process is only a

fraction compared to the production of other materials. The

manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no

by-products or toxic waste products.

AAC blocks are manufactured from common and abundant

natural raw materials. The finished product is twice the

volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely

resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Why should you choose Ecolite?

At Ecolite, your goals are our goals. By

understanding each of your unique demands

and to help identify new opportunities for better

construction ‘value’, Ecolite offers you a solution

that precisely addresses your specific needs -

needs that make way for gains.

This communication runs through some of these

‘opportunities for gains’.

Go Green.

Gains that can change your life forever.

Ecolite blocks can be made available in

numerous shapes and sizes.

Ecolite blocks only look porous. Being a cellular

structure, it actually blocks the capillary action,

so water does not percolate unlike traditional

bricks. Ecolite block features include structural

capacity, thermal, fire, and acoustical resistance

properties. These blocks significantly

outperform traditional bricks, fly ash bricks,

conventional concrete blocks or poured

concrete. Consistency in quality and colour can

be obtained in Ecolite blocks. Ecolite layered

exterior walls can be covered with a single

exterior plaster cladding - enough to fight the

exposure to physical damage, dirt and water. If

installed in high humidity environments,

interior finishes with low vapour permeability,

and exterior finishes with a high permeability

are recommended.

As a result of the thermal mass, Ecolite block’s

ability to store and release energy over time

can be beneficial in climates where outdoor

temperature fluctuates over a 24-hour period

from above to below the indoor temperature

conditioned air set point.

So, while Ecolite lets you build a tomorrow that

encourages the environmental pursuits,

you still continue to ensure cost-efficiency, reduce time to market

and enhance your brand image.

How ?

Go Green.

The increasing carbon foot print on the

environment is a growing concern.

The carbon foot prints of Ecolite AAC blocks

are considerably less compared to traditional

walling materials (per sq ft carbon levels: AAC

blocks 2.13 kg of CO2, clay bricks 17.6 kg of CO2,

concrete walls 14 kg of CO2). Aiding further,

the light weight of Ecolite AAC blocks reduces

the carbon emission as more cubic meter can be

transported per truck load as compared to

traditional walling material (3 trucks traditional

material in cu m equates 1 truck AAC blocks

in cu m).

Encouraging the environmental pursuits – Carbon footprint

Comparative analysis vis-à-vis traditional clay bricks

When compared with AAC blocks, the following facts emerge:

CLAY BRICKS AAC BLOCKS

Environmental Impact

One clay brick consumes 3.2 kgs of top soil

One sq ft of carpet area with clay brick walling will

consume 25.5 kgs of top soil

One sq ft of carpet area with clay bricks will

consume 8 kgs of coal

One sq ft of carpet area will emit 17.6 kgs of CO2

Due to high density, transportation cost per cu m

/km is very high

Social Impact

Unorganised sector (child labour rampant in

unorganised sector)

Does not contribute to government exchequer

(taxes)

Unhealthy working conditions, a major health

hazard due to toxic gases

No top soil consumed

Uses fly ash which is a thermal power plant waste

product & thus no consumption of top soil

One sq ft of carpet area with AAC blocks will

consume 0.9677 kgs of coal

One sq ft of carpet area will emit 2.13 kgs of CO2

Least cost of transportation, since AAC blocks are

1/3rd weight of clay bricks

Organised sector. Nation building through

Corporate Governance, Statutory Labour and HR

practices

Contributes to government taxes in form of

Central Excise, VAT & Octroi

Organised sector with state-of-the-art factory

facility

Ecolite AAC block ‘green’ advantages:

• Reduced energy consumption in

production

• Manufacturing process emits no

pollutants or creates toxic waste

products

• Manufactured from common, abundant

materials

• Lighter compared to other materials

leads to significant reductions in CO2

emissions during transportation

• Excellent thermal efficiency sharply

reduces the time for space heating /

cooling in buildings, saving

precious energy

• Easy workability allows accurate cutting

that minimizes the generation of solid

waste during use

Improve your construction economy

Construct faster to market quicker

Enhance your brand image

• Enjoy bigger carpet area by using a

150 mm block instead of 200 mm block

• 1 : 9 ratio - Less expensive compared

to traditional brick work as ‘one block’

required for every ‘nine bricks’

• Plaster savings with less material

required for external cladding

• Mortar saving since less quantity of

mortar consumed

• Steel saving, as less steel utilization

with beam depth 450mm vis-à-vis 650

mm with traditional material

• Lower labour employment costs as

lesser manpower required

• Minimal wastage in transit, due to

even sizes they are stacked uniformly

Improve your construction economyWe stand behind every Ecolite block we sell. That applies

to how every block ‘layer by layer’ performs virtually on

your construction site to help improve your construction

economics.

SAVE

MONEY

• Even sized blocks ensure quicker

layering

• Easy cutting ensures faster & exact

cutting of blocks as required

• Less intensive labour work accelerates

construction process

• Organised ordering & prompt delivery

ensures minimum downtime

• Delivered on pallets makes stacking

easier and operations faster

Construct faster to market quickerConstruction companies grapple with timelines. It takes

months to get ‘off’ the projects they build. Then there’s

marketing to get the ‘possession’ timelines, in order. With

Ecolite, there’s a way to achieve ‘faster time to market’.
