As January moves on, progress continues onsite at the REHAU Montana ecosmart house.
During the week of the 17th, the first floor AmDeck forms were installed and the first floor will be completed this week with the final concrete pour. The subcontractor also completed 80% of the rebar (reinforcing bar) placement on the first floor of the house.
Preparation is also underway to place plumbing rough-ins, and sensors are being placed by the mechanical engineering students at Montana State university. Once the house is finished and occupied, these sensors will collect data that will be evaluated to determine how the various systems being used throughout the house contribute to energy consumption and comfort day-to-day.
