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难题 - 买家想要环境可持续的房屋，但 没有上涨价格。建筑行业的环境可持续性是利文化电子（利夫文）重视并希望为贡献的增长趋势。利文有一个减少碳的解决方案 使用“智能家庭准备”的无线控制器，照明和音频产品的足迹。南艾伯塔省理工学院（SAIT）的利物文和绿色建筑技术（GBT）将分析其切换产品组件的嵌入式二氧化碳，以了解材料特性，供应链，以减少技术的排放并降低生产成本。商业化的最终产品将通过监测其能耗来支持房主减少温室气体排放。它将为建筑商提供一种可持续的，负责任的构造工具，它们可以添加到新建版本中，因为它具有成本效益。利文（Levven）是一家加拿大公司，在艾伯塔省的埃德蒙顿（Edmonton）生产其产品和模制，目前雇用33名员工。预计到2022年8月，他们将拥有79名员工，拥有生产和工程的多数。利文预测，其无线切换产品的销售额占预计2023美元的82％的82％，收入为2120万美元，收入为2022美元的64％，收入的37％，收入的37％，收入为626万美元。
