Keypad escutcheon offers SMARTair™ security

Gaia system heats new state- of-the-art school building
S
pecialist contractor, Kershaw Mechanical Services Limited, has installed Gaia’s wet underfloor heating system as part of its £1.9m mechanical & electrical (M&E) package at the new Further Education building for West Suffolk College.
Located on the college’s campus in Bury St Edmunds, the new FE building is the main focus of all FE provision and provides improved study facilities as well as student support and recreational opportunities. With a focus on energy efficiency, the building’s M&E works included a natural ventilation system, a biomass boiler, domestic services, heating, air conditioning and full building management system.
Gaia wet underfloor heating system utilises water at low temperatures. The water is circulated through a series of continuous pipe loops laid within a screed or between timber joists beneath the floor surface. The pipe loops for each room (or zone) all run from and back to the system manifold. The nature in which heat is radiated across the whole floor surface makes underfloor heating a highly cost efficient and comfortable alternative to traditional radiant heating methods.

SSA, part of Security Solutions, a division of ASSA ABLOY UK, has launched a KeyPad escutcheon that features multi-factor authentication, providing extra security for its SMARTair™ wireless access control system. SMARTair™ is a door management system that allows sophisticated proximity access control using minimal wire-free door units. The new KeyPad escutcheon offers three levels of user authentication: it can be opened by 4-digit code, by RFID-enabled smartcard, or can require both to permit access.
With no wiring required, thanks to the various communication technologies available between the reader and administration software, the bolt-on SMARTair™ unit and KeyPad escutcheon can easily be installed onto virtually any mechanical door, minimising disruption to the day-to-day operations of buildings. Using standard batteries, rather than a mains power connection, SMARTair™
solutions keep maintenance and installation costs to a minimum. For ease of use in low light, the escutcheon features an illuminated keypad, glowing blue when the user is entering a code, green when access is permitted, and red when entry is refused.
SMARTair™ is compatible with all leading RFID technologies, including iCLASS® by HID, MIFARE™ Classic and DESFire™.
