We’ve been testing a suite of products from Verve Living systems in our office and, so far we are very impressed. Verve’s products provide easy, convenient or even passive ways to save energy. Their products fall into four main categories:
- Occupancy detection devices that sense motion and, when no motion is detected over a given time span, can wirelessly communicate with lighting and HVAC systems to close circuits or kick back temperature settings thereby saving on energy costs while keeping the space comfortable. We see a wide range of applications in the Hospitality Industry for these products.
- Heating and cooling controls produce energy savings by adjusting the thermostat automatically. This technology is useful for all types of residential applications.
- Battery-free or lumen/solar powered user interfaces – door/ window switches and remote controls – that allow you to wirelessly control the lighting and temperature. Imagine never having to change batteries in your remote controls!
- Lighting and load-control products that enable total control over lighting and outlets. So you can sit in your living room with the wireless controller and turn on or dim lights anywhere in the house.

We think their products, when used in conjunction with our Modular Construction technology offer almost any residential or hospitality construction project a sustainable, energy efficient alternative to conventional site/craft construction.
