"The peak interior temperatures in the panels reached approximately 30°C above ambient... The temperature changes did not produce any thermal or shrinkage cracking. The foam collapse observed stopped when the synthetic foaming agent was used. No problems with regard to flash setting or loss of workability were noted in the temperature ranges observed... [N]o special procedures (such as cooling the ingredients) or the use of low-heat cements are needed in foamed-cement panel production for the panel sizes used in this investigation when ambient temperatures are on the order of 20 to 25 °C."
