Access Control

Your Tenant’s Security and Building Security are the First Priority

During the business day, the building is open, tenants, visitors, contractors, employees and the community come and go. Ensuring that only the right people enter the tenants offices, is managed and maintained via the access control system. Its the first layer of defense against unwanted visitors.
Maintaining the access control system database in line with the tenants wishes is the foundation to the system’s integrity; disgruntled former employees, customers and contractors may not always return their access card, and although we don’t like to think of good people misbehaving, it happens. Hence, keeping the database up to date for the tenants ensures their premises are protected and the integrity of the system remains intact.

Your Building’s Effective Control

Access control and it’s synergies provides for more opportunities for automated management than you might realize. Systems can be integrated, access limited and occupancy flags integrated to provide lighting and air conditioning control.
The deeper the interrogation, there are greater set up costs and management costs, but these costs begin to pale when the benefits of improved energy conservation appear on the bill and “feel” of the tenancy or building is modernized and contemporary. Staff, visitors, contractors and clientele will be impressed and want to be there. Indirect benefits of a contemporary modern control system shouldn’t be under estimated.

Optimize Your Control Opportunities

Access control has the potential to improve the visibility into your site operations, creating a data source showing where potential losses are, and where there is room for operational improvement; for example, Car Park access and Board Room Access, lights, fan and air conditioning control can be Optimized together for an “in use” scenario as opposed to pure time and date scheduling. The air conditioning and the lights will activate only when the room is accessed, reducing unoccupied rooms being conditioned and using energy.

Link your Access Control to your Energy Management

The Investment into your building’s access control can support improvements in energy efficiency by “seeing” into the operational environment and making scheduling or occupancy changes to reflect the movements of the occupants.
This will also be reflected in the NABERS assessment of the building in reduced unnecessary energy costs.
