ABC’s of Access Control [Webinar]
Hosted by AIA West Virginia, Procrastinators Days will provide 10 hours of HSW credits via free live webinars on various dates and times from December 11 to December 17. There is one registration site where you can click the seminars you plan to attend. You will be sent a calendar invite with Zoom call in information and a reminder email the morning of the seminar.
Access control systems are usually thought of in terms of a security enhancement over mechanical keys that let authorized personnel enter a building or area. However, access control systems can offer a variety of tools and benefits that are often overlooked such as increasing operational efficiencies and reducing costs by enabling integration with a large variety of workforce products and solutions like time and attendance and cashless purchasing.
Since electronic access control is common even in small facilities, understanding the system components and the product options for each component is imperative to specifying the right products for your client’s facility. In this seminar, we’ll explore electronic access control, its benefits to the owner, building inhabitants, and fire and life safety. We’ll also discuss component features and solutions, and options for building openings that will meet your client’s needs and applicable code requirements while still providing for fire and life safety.
