Contemporary construction trends are sustainable construction and efficient use of resources. Therefore, construction materials with high insulation parameters tend to become more popular. However, moisture content of construction materials has significant impact on the materials’ physical properties, especially on heat resistivity properties. As autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry constructions have high heat insulation parameters if the masonry blocks are in air-dry state they comply with all contemporary construction trends. However, the moisture content of the AAC masonry blocks has siginificant impact on it’s heat resistivity, therefore non-destructive monitoring of the drying process during the cladding stage is preferabe in order to increase the quality of the insulative properties of the delimiting Impact of moisture content on heat resistivity properties of AAC masonry constructions has been described in this paper.
