ACCELERATED Building Technologies
     
 
Accelerated Building Technologies, LLC was formed by two leading building materials manufacturers, combining the talent, resources and knowledge of both NOVA Chemicals and Dietrich Metal Framing. Utilizing Dietrich Metal Framing's expertise in cold-formed steel framing and NOVA Chemicals' knowledge of expandable polystyrene (EPS) insulation, Accelerated Building Technologies has developed the accel-E™ Steel Thermal Efficient Panel (S.T.E.P.) wall system to streamline the construction process and improve thermal performance. Accelerated Building Technologies maintains ownership under SYNTHEON Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NOVA Chemicals Inc. - for the building and construction industry and utilizes Dietrich Metal Framing as its exclusive steel component provider.
   
Why This Innovation
Builders today are faced with more challenges than ever before including the high cost of labor, energy and the growing demands for more environmentally responsible buildings. The accel-E™ Steel Thermal Efficient (S.T.E.P.) wall system helps overcome these challenges by providing a much more efficient building system. Some of it’s qualities include:

 
Cost Efficiency — Significantly reduces both the amount and required skill levels of on-site labor while lowering overhead and shortening construction cycles.
Faster Installation Time — Consolidates framing, insulation and sheathing into a single step.
Energy Efficiency — Helps lower heating and cooling costs by improving effective R-Value performance.
Green — A contributor to LEED® points, made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable.
