The new home construction industry has a quandary - buyers want environmentally sustainable homes, but without an increase to the purchase price. Environmental sustainability in the construction industry is a growing trend that Levven Electronics (Levven) values and wants to contribute to. Levven has a solution that reduces carbon footprints using "smart home-ready" wireless controllers, lighting and audio products. Levven and Green Building Technologies (GBT) at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) will analyze the embedded CO2 of their switching product components to understand the material properties, supply chain with the intent to reduce the technology's emission and reduce production costs. The commercialized final product will support homeowners to reduce GHG emissions by monitoring their energy consumption. It will provide builders a sustainable, responsibly constructed tool they can add to their new builds because it is cost-effective. Levven is a Canadian company that manufactures their product and moldings in Edmonton, Alberta and currently employs 33 people. By August 2022 they are expected to have 79 employees with the majority in production and engineering. Levven anticipates sales of their wireless switching product to account for 82% of their projected 2023 $21.2M revenue, 64% of 2022 $10.3M revenue, and 37% of 2021 $6.26M revenue.

新的房屋建筑业有一个进退两难的境地--买家想要环境可持续的房屋，但 而不会增加购买价格。建筑行业的环境可持续性是Levven Electronics(Levven)重视并希望做出贡献的一种日益增长的趋势。莱文有一个减少碳排放的解决方案 使用“智能家居”无线控制器、照明和音响产品的足迹。南艾伯塔省理工学院(SAIT)的莱文和绿色建筑技术公司(GBT)将分析其开关产品组件的嵌入二氧化碳，以了解材料特性和供应链，目的是减少技术排放和降低生产成本。商业化的最终产品将通过监测房主的能源消耗来支持他们减少温室气体排放。它将为建筑商提供一个可持续的、负责任的构造工具，他们可以将其添加到新的建筑中，因为它具有成本效益。Levven是一家加拿大公司，在艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿生产他们的产品和模具，目前有33名员工。到2022年8月，他们预计将拥有79名员工，其中大部分在生产和工程领域。莱文预计，其无线交换产品的销售额将占其2023年212万美元收入的82%，2022年1030万美元收入的82%，2021年626万美元收入的37%。
