Teknion’s press room is abuzz with announcements this year about multiple awards from IIDEX. At this annual Canadian design exposition, the focus was on innovation. Teknion didn’t take the gold in any category but managed to “medal” with a silver and three bronzes. These honors come fast on the heels of recognition at NeoCon 2012 for many of the same products. What are interior design leaders on both sides of Niagara Falls so excited about? You might be surprised to learn that one award winning concept isn’t even a piece of office furniture.

LOGIQ is a system that brings greater energy efficiency down to the desktop level. Now, employers and workers can easily visualize energy usage on a ‘plug by plug’ basis in real time – encouraging better resource management with an intuitive and compelling interface. Teknion estimates that a LOGIQ enabled workstation uses 20% less electricity than a traditional workstation. Employees will enjoy connecting with this cloud based energy management tool via the iPad app. It makes saving electricity fun!
