项目摘要

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.

新住宅建筑行业面临着一个困境——买家想要环境可持续的住宅，但在不增加购买价格的情况下。 Levven Electronics (Levven) 重视并希望为建筑行业的环境可持续发展做出贡献。 Levven 有一个减少碳排放的解决方案使用“智能家居就绪”无线控制器、照明和音频产品的足迹。 Levven 和南阿尔伯塔理工学院 (SAIT) 的绿色建筑技术 (GBT) 将分析其开关产品组件中嵌入的二氧化碳，以了解材料特性和供应链，从而减少技术排放并降低生产成本。商业化的最终产品将支持房主通过监测能源消耗来减少温室气体排放。它将为建筑商提供可持续、负责任的构建工具，他们可以将其添加到新建筑中，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产品和模具，目前拥有 33 名员工。到 2022 年 8 月，他们预计将拥有 79 名员工，其中大部分从事生产和工程工作。 Levven 预计其无线交换产品的销售额将占其预计 2023 年 2120 万美元收入的 82%、2022 年 1030 万美元收入的 64% 以及 2021 年 626 万美元收入的 37%。
