However,variations and deviations are possible”. Example of variations: Different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead todifferences results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared.2
Company DescriptionTeknion Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets workplace interiors. Its products include panel systems, deskingsystems, private office systems/case goods, seating solutions, architectural products, tables and collaborative spaces,storage products, work better tech products (complements), and textiles. The company’s products are used in variousapplications, including open, collaborative, private, meeting, lounge, learning, next culture, and work couture areas. TeknionCorporation was founded in 1981 and is based in Toronto, Canada.Product DescriptionNavigate offers multiple ways of supporting multiple user workstyles. Navigate Height-Adjustable Desking integrates withTeknion’s District , Leverage and upStage furniture systems, and is ideal as a freestanding or meeting table instandalone applications. It features an elevated look and feel, highlighted by soft edges, new materials and no visiblefasteners.The desking solution studied can contain panels, worksurfaces, storage solutions, and power cables, depending on the finalconfiguration. Additional details of the product configuration used for this EPD is below, but other configurations arepossible.Product CategoryNumber of OccupantsFloor AreaComponents IncludedDefining FeaturesRecycled Content3Navigate TablesDesking11.39 m2Desking, Laminate Worksurface, Height-Adjustable StandHeight-Adjustable Desk50.2% pre-consumer, 8.9% post-consumer
Product CompositionLike many commercial furniture products, Navigate Desking is available in a multitude of configurations. For this particularstudy, a worst-case scenario, as defined by the ANSI/BIFMA e3-2014e Furniture Sustainability Standard program was used.This composition of the configuration is provided in the table below. The exact configuration purchased may be slightlydifferent, however, because a worst-case scenario was used, this EPD will still be applicable to the purchased configuration.MaterialMass %MaterialMass %Particle BoardSteelSteel - ImportedAluminumAluminum Die wder CoatElectrical2.7%2.4%2.4%1.9%0.4%5.6%Selection of Impact ParametersEnvironmental Impacts were calculated using the GaBi software platform.

This tracks withthe majority of durable goods similar to Navigate.An additional dominance analysis was performed todetermine the relative impacts of the materials used inthe production of Navigate. For most of the LCIAindicators, the top material impacts are aluminum,steel, particle board, or powder coating, depending onthe indicator.5Dominance PPOCPPEDFWDistribution/UseEnd-of-Life100%
