ᐅ Masonry using Ytong blocks, 24 cm or 30 cm thick, for a single-family house?

Hello building experts,
It looks like construction can start soon. I was convinced by the regional TuC partner regarding the overall concept because of the monolithic construction method.
In the "basic package," the masonry is made from 24cm (9.5 inches) Ytong blocks. Does anyone have practical experience with thermal and sound insulation? The residential location is very quiet, traffic-calmed, and has almost no through traffic.
Alternatively, I am considering a build with 30cm (12 inches) blocks; I still need to find out the additional cost.
Best regards,
Ruska

If anything, the grid operator occasionally "disconnects" or throttles the power supply at night when the heat pump and electric car consume too much electricity overnight. This is even though the initial focus is on introducing dynamic electricity pricing and increasing prices during peak times. In the medium term, this will extend beyond just driving and heating electricity. Dynamic pricing is the first step and an attempt to achieve this on a "voluntary" basis. If that clearly fails, some obligations will arise, and large consumers will have to communicate with the electricity meter.
In practice, overnight consumption is unlikely to be a major issue for the foreseeable future, as industry and commercial sectors consume less then. Fossil fuel power plants will accompany us much longer than expected, since in winter every calm period in renewable generation inevitably leads to a critical power shortage.

What are you trying to prove? Completely out of context.Didn’t you do anything like this during your studies… sorry, training… uh, internship?
Have you ever handled Styrofoam? This question is now genuinely serious…
No, seriously… now for real.
Do you understand how a screw connection works? I am genuinely worried.

No, seriously... really.
Do you understand how the principle of screw connections works? I’m genuinely concerned.Hello Mr. Senior Teacher, please just consult a datasheet for the relevant anchor and educate yourself instead of spreading your flawed theories. Unlike you, we haven’t been living under a rock for decades.
It is particularly noteworthy that the allowable loads for such anchors in aerated concrete are significantly lower compared to, for example, calcium silicate bricks behind ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems).
A quick note: If the seasonal performance factor (SPF) of an air-to-water heat pump in a new build is below 4, either you live on a mountain, or the system design and settings are poor.
Besides that, a low flow temperature (VLT) is crucial for effective operation of a heat pump. Everything else is secondary.
