[Greenbuilding] Safecrete

[Kat]

Todd (the architect I work for), says "The city's issue is supposedly both reinforcing and long term weathering."

We're in a D1 earthquake zone (I think that's what the code labels it as these days) here, so that's probably where the 
reinforcing issue comes from.

Autoclaved aerated concrete products (by SafeCrete and other names) are used
in Oregon pretty frequently.  There was a scuffle with some building
departments a while back over the "actual" vs. "effective" R-value.  My
understanding is that the installers worked with the building departments to
resolve the issues.

Kathleen, I sent you a private email with some local contact info.

Well.  Turns out we and our client would love to use Safecrete on a project
- but guess what?  The city of Portland (OR) won't accept it.

I write this because I know there is a Safecrete person on this list, and
maybe there's something they know of that can be done about this?
