Office Buildings

Looking to design an appropriate automated access and parking system? Presenting a comprehensive "must have" powerful document on automated access and parking systems for office buildings. As the demand for security & convenience in parking and access control in office buildings from end users increases day by day, manufacturers of these systems use increasingly sophisticated technology to meet this demand.

From the most heavily trafficked facilities to the loneliest out of the way places, the need is to install a system that is technically advanced, dependable and easy to operate. Expanding business opportunities create a need to provide secure facilities, safeguard people and property.

The application poses specific and unique problems in the design of the system.

Designing a system requires an investigation phase before designing work can begin. The distinction between single and multi-tenant buildings is a crucial one when it comes to designing a system. Also, the number of tenants in a building can be a major factor in the level of sophistication required for the system.

The design should insure careful architectural planning of vehicle and pedestrian entrances to the buildings and interior spaces. Keeping the system up-to-date ranks high on property managers' priority lists.

The sophistication of a system and whether it is activated all the time or just during non-business hours depends on the facility, its occupants and the type of work that goes on. Introducing such a system reduces the workload on the security personnel and lessens operating costs.

The tenant charges their employees a monthly fee and visitors are charged a nominal fee depending on the time limit. The fee collected in addition to paying off the system has the benefit of deriving an additional source of income, which can be used to maintain the building.

The guide provides standard sample drawings, survey forms, proposals, templates, guidelines, etc. to design an efficient and cost effective system.

The manual is aimed at administrators, developers or managers to provide a hassle free system to a broad variety of users like tenants and visitors.

It should prove to be a benchmark in addressing the real issues of the users in many ways.

The handbook also elucidates on how these technologies can be integrated and offers a unified approach to an electronic business infrastructure system.

A perfect solution may differ from one building to other depending on the needs and requirements of the project. To provide a perfect/complete solution the requirements of the various user groups, layout and structure should be known beforehand. Knowing the customers is essential.

One of the most important requirements for having a smoothly running system is to choose a correctly designed system at the outset. A poorly designed system could cause many post installation problems, which may cost the organization a lot of time, labor and money.
