What are the challenges facing educational establishments in terms of safety, security and comfort?

Campuses, universities and public schools are increasingly faced with security issues such as theft, intrusion, fire, and many more sorts of incidents that can occur at any time of the day. 

Teachers, students, and staff are increasingly circulating within these premises, and it is vital to ensure optimal safety and security for them. 

What issues are the education sector increasingly concerned about? 

Thefts and assaults within educational establishments have become increasingly common, particularly between students, in teaching rooms as well as in private rooms. Intruders at any time of the day are also on the rise, and schools need to protect themselves against theft and intrusion amongst other sorts of incidents. 

Another major issue is conflict. More and more students are finding themselves in conflict with each other and with the teaching staff, and it is essential to be able to use technology to provide evidence of aggression and visibility of the incident. 

Another important event that educational establishments are concerned about is fire. 

With digital development, establishments are increasingly being equipped with innovative technologies. One of the issues is that equipment can cause damage if it catches fire, and it is necessary to be equipped with effective systems and sensors in the event of a fire starting. 

As well as ensuring safety and security, the comfort of occupants in educational establishments is essential these days. 

Regarding this comfort, power cuts in the middle of a lesson and energy consumption are issues that schools are concerned about because they have a direct impact on the well-being of the occupants and the ultimate price to be able to provide this comfort. 

It is therefore necessary to be able to manage power failures as effectively as possible via a centralised system, and to manage the lights in the various rooms, etc. 

Educational establishments need to be able to manage incidents (theft, breakdowns, etc.) quickly and efficiently. Building Management Software (BMS) is precisely the software that will be able to manage all incidents in an educational establishment quickly and efficiently via a centralised control room. All the security, safety and comfort systems can also be centralised on a single platform, and schools can integrate and connect all the equipment in their various buildings.

This enables quick and effective responses to any kind of incident.  

Having an Open Integration Platform in your control room allows your control room operators to work efficiently with focus on the tasks. Only one interface is to be managed to restore the situation to a safe environment thanks to an immediate increase of situational awareness whenever an incident occurs. In just milliseconds, an alarm pops up and an automated, custom-made procedure will start.
