David Moser’s report for Assa Abloy, released on November 28, 2023, focuses on access control measures that can create secure living environments for tenants in buildings with multiple units and shared hallways or stairwells. Considered locations for access control include communal entrances used by residents, visitors, maintenance staff, and couriers, as well as communal amenities such as gyms and laundry rooms, and individual residences. The report proposes an electronic (digital) access strategy, which offers benefits such as increased security, remote management, and convenience. The main takeaway is that connectivity and compatibility will drive the advancement of building access solutions.
