Verve Vacancy Sensor
The Verve Vacancy Sensor makes additional energy savings possible by automatically shutting off lights in unoccupied areas. The Verve sensor combines photovoltaic and radio frequency technologies for wireless and battery-less operation. This distinctive design makes installation easier and virtually maintenance free.

Verve Wireless Switches
Unlike conventional switches, Verve switches utilize energy harvesting, radio frequency technologies to control lighting, receptacles and temperature. The simple act of turning a switch on or off generates enough energy to transmit radio signals to the 10-channel controller across distances as great as 300 feet. Because each switch generates its own power, Verve switches are completely wireless and battery-less. Every Verve switch operates as a dimmer and can be mounted or moved virtually anywhere.

Verve 10 Channel Controller
The Verve 10-channel controller is designed for quick and easy programming of receptacles and wide variety of lighting functions that range form on/off and timing to pathways and scenes. Each Verve controller is hardwired to line voltage and controls up to 10 light, fan and receptacle loads.

AMDECK Floor & Roof System
The AmDeck® Floor & Roof System is a modular, lightweight, stay-in-place form made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and used to construct concrete floors and roofs for commercial, industrial and residential uses. When installed properly the system provides structural strength through reinforced concrete and insulation through EPS.

Verve Thermostat
By applying energy-harvesting, radio frequency technologies to heating and cooling controls (HVAC) the Verve thermostat enables wireless temperature control. Designed with energy savings in mind, the Verve thermostat integrates with the Verve lighting control systems for single switch control of lights, receptacle and temperature to activate either a whole house economy mode or comfort mode with one click of a Verve switch.
