AAC materials are environmentally-friendly, and LEED does recognize this. Please note however, that LEED certification is based on the construction project, not a single material. LEED recognizes autoclaved aerated concrete products in the following manner: Recycled content (applicable to AAC blocks containing fly ash); Reduced energy consumption; locally sourced products (if applicable to project), and locally sourced raw materials.
