STEEL THERMAL EFFICIENT PANEL

While researching materials and products available to help create a thermally efficient building envelope, I happened to stumble across a product called Steel Thermal Efficient Panels (S.T.E.P.'s). This innovative technology virtually eliminates the transfer of temperature from one side of the framing component to the other side. The result is a thermally efficient, high-performance building technology that is strong, lightweight, energy efficient and economical. As far as I know, it is state of the art and only available from a company called Accelerated Building Technologies. I don't know exactly how practical it would be to use this technology in residential construction but I plan on finding out. A video of this product and how it is made can be found at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEqXFrxM1-E . Check it out!

  1. Check these guys out: http://www.k-tect.com/. Looks like they're doing the same thing, with a better thermal break (from what I can see from each company's details)
