Can AAC be used as slab edge insulation? – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Does anybody have personal experience with using AAC block as a slab edge insulation?

Is the block too porous to use in a below grade condition like that, even though it wouldn’t be structural?

Would it help to give it a damp-proofing coat?

Any recommendations for a damp-proofing product?

If people want to know why I’m asking it’s because I’m looking at how to get good slab edge insulation in an area with termites. And yes, I’ll still be using a termite shield.
