Large shopping malls and shopping centers are usually located in bustling urban core areas, featuring long business hours, diverse visitor groups and dense pedestrian flow. Such buildings must not only ensure the normal operation of daily business activities, but also protect personal and public & private property safety, placing equal emphasis on safety and security. To resolve the conflicting safety requirements of commercial buildings, Safeone conducts comprehensive analysis covering regional safety levels, construction characteristics, system operation effects and project costs, and puts forward an advanced all-round security concept that integrates security protection with fire safety, together with the following targeted solutions:
• Reasonably arrange safety evacuation routes and facilities to ensure continuous and barrier-free evacuation paths leading to outdoor safe zones from any position inside the building. Equipped with electric delay and alarm functions, the system effectively resolves the conflict between property protection and personal safety during fire emergencies.
• Adopt standardized and compliant fire compartmentation designs and certified fire doors. Normally closed fire doors are fitted with certified fire-resistant hardware to sustain the long-term fireproof performance of fire walls and fire compartments. Normally open fire doors are equipped with fire alarm-linked electromagnetic door closers or magnetic door holders to ensure timely door closure in case of fire.
• Install automatic doors at barrier-free passages and accessible restrooms to realize unobstructed access. Accessible restrooms are equipped with emergency call systems and barrier-free auxiliary facilities to guarantee user safety.
• Deploy electronic access control systems on doors connecting front-of-house and back-of-house areas to restrict unauthorized personnel movement. Apply biometric recognition technology combined with video surveillance and alarm systems in key protected areas to ensure regional safety.
• Realize classified and hierarchical access management for internal staff and room access through authority configuration of electronic access control systems and mechanical master key systems. The two systems can operate independently, in parallel or interactively.
