The Unexpected and Questionable Green Products at PCBC

We totally got buzzed about something so innocuous that we almost walked passed it because it didn't have a bunch of Green banners proclaiming its greenness.

This Verve living system offers what they call a living control system which in simple terms operates like a whole house lighting system. We've seen this before but this one operates on battery free, self sustaining technology or what the call energy harvesting radio frequency technology.

Pretty scientific for us but this little gizmo works in a panel that reduces the power so that certain switches can come on at certain levels and times. The systems extends bulb life and new homes don't need copper wiring installed if they use this system. We even like the parent control which operates like the driver's control when it comes to locking and unlocking car doors. We're locked for this system.
