This article presents an analysis of modern construction materials such as aerated concrete and foam concrete from the perspectives of ecological safety and energy efficiency. The purpose of the article is to examine the production processes, ecological impact, and contribution of these materials to energy savings in buildings. The key properties, thermal insulation indicators, and practical applications of aerated concrete and foam concrete in real projects are compared. The analysis reveals that aerated concrete and foam concrete are more ecologically safe and energy-efficient compared to traditional materials. In the future, it is necessary to develop innovative technologies and recycling opportunities to expand the use of these materials.
