That's good Ytong la ... And there is marked monomur ... (but I never say BRICK ... the monomur appellation is generic to say: wall with integrated insulation?)

What is not the case of the Ytong ... on paper it seems to have only advantages (except the resistance to compression rather mediocre but for a house is more than enough)

Yes but ... the roofs are made of cellular concrete also so I'm not sure that the complementary insulation would bring a real plus, we will see this winter ...
I don't know what this type of construction is called, but glued concrete "beam panels" go up to the ridge. They are placed on a metal frame which obviously remains 100% inside to avoid thermal bridges ...
