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, a Worthington Industries Company. Utilizing Dietrich’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.
   
Why This Innovation
Builders today are faced with more challenges than ever before:
 
Energy efficient — heating and cooling bills can be reduced drastically
Comfort — structures are less “drafty” and provide enhanced sound insulation
Lower insurance premiums
Potential increased return on investment for property owners
Peace of mind, knowing that they built their structure with a sustainable building solution
Environmentally friendly, made from recycled materials
