NAAC Equity Strategy: Structuring Ownership and Value Capture in the NAAC Innovation Ecosystem

Abstract An emerging innovation ecosystem surrounding non-autoclaved aerated concrete (NAAC) presents a distinctive pathway towards sustainable and scalable housing delivery. This article articulates a comprehensive framework for ownership structuring, equity distribution, intellectual property (IP) commercialization, and value appropriation within the NAAC ecosystem. By integrating site-cast monolithic pour techniques and site-cast standard reinforced cement concrete (RCC) shear columns—practices that resonate with developing countries’ masonry traditions—the research delineates a financially sound and socially inclusive trajectory for developers, financiers, and community actors. Comparative evaluation against conventional autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block building systems identifies NAAC’s superior qualities including retrofitting capacity, lower embodied carbon emissions, and it’s monolithic pour technique. The framework employs a triad of empirical case studies, IP appraisal methodologies, and financial forecasting to interrogate ownership configurations, ranging from cooperatives to special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and franchising arrangements. The inquiry further interrogates socio-legal impediments to operating beyond sanctioned building codes while illuminating cost-benefit equilibria for sanctioned versus experimental implementation stages. Underpinned by empirically verified carbon data and robust valuation protocols, the analysis enriches the literature on sustainable construction by advancing a replicable, inclusive, and climate-committed equity architecture for next-generation cementitious materials.
