The sound of hammers, saws and power tools has faded into memory as the REHAU MONTANA ecosmart house project has entered its research and education phase. But it's anything but quiet around here!
The house serves as a venue for meetings and seminars focused on green building and energy efficiency, and tours are frequent. The house is outfitted with signs and video stations throughout for visitors to learn about the project, the systems* installed and what we're doing in the way of testing and data collection.
In the picture above, I'm speaking to members of the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Department of Energy during a meeting these organizations held in the educational facilities of the house.
There's no better backdrop for the minds of industry, government and academia to come together on one of the single most important issues of our time: Achieving balance between the built environment and the natural environment.
