Integration Of Building Services
The key priority for hotels and leisure facilities is customer satisfaction. Integrated infrastructures can go a long way to enable you to achieve this whilst reducing operating costs and installation costs in the process. Hotels and leisure facilities must be open and welcoming, but there is a fine line between openness and lack of security. Finding a balance between the two is vital. When we stay at a hotel, or visit a leisure facility we put a great deal of trust into those that run it. We expect that we, and our personal property will be safe at all times. Yet these are open environments in which we also expect to be able to come and go at will.
ADT’s integrated security systems are ideal to keep your guests safe against intrusion and theft, indeed our modern and flexible video surveillance and security systems can be found protecting hotels across the globe. With integrated systems, even public areas can be protected from uninvited visitors without undue intrusion or disruption. Pools and fitness zones, reception areas and car parks can be monitored as reliably as safes, window displays, paintings and EDP rooms.
Installations exist where an integrated systems was more than 15% cheaper* than the stand-alone equivalent.
The integration of the buildings technical infra-structure such as the data and telecommunications networks with security and safety systems, heating and ventilating and lighting controls can have a beneficial impact on not only the building’s performance but also the overall operation of the business, thus providing better customer satisfaction. This is still a developing area and technology is constantly evolving as more and more infrastructure technologies become integrated.
