Anatomy of TBC‘s ’Green’ Console

*Features shown may not be standard on all consoles.

We source our raw materials from components with over 50% recycled content and use select local manufacturers who share our values. Our products are built to last with a modular design that allows for easy to disassemble and re-use. Technical furniture at TBC utilizes a unique “Trac” system, which is specially designed to be upgraded on site including front and rear tracks that allow for unlimited lateral positioning of monitors.

We have worked to remove hazardous and non-sustainable materials and processes through maintaining and analyzing Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDSs) and sourcing products that do not off-gas into the environment.

LEED Green Building Program

TBC’s technical furniture is built with materials that can meet or exceed LEED criteria, which is a voluntary rating system administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED applies for commercial buildings, homes, and neighborhoods.

TBC’s has worked on a number of projects, including LEED platinum buildings, that are seeking to ensure products comply with various
environmental standards. Our projects can add points for “Commercial Interiors”, “Existing Buildings” and “New Construction/Major Renovations”
in the following major categories:

Construction Waste Management
