3-5.2.10 Coordination with Building or Project Architect:
3-5.2.11 In general, the ESS designer must balance security requirements with life
safety, fire-alarm interface, and normal operational convenience factors.
3-5.2.12 Exits and entrances should be separated.
3-5.2.13 Avoid using a life safety emergency exit as a high security entry portal.
3-5.2.14 Limit entrances into the controlled area. SCIFs are limited to one primary
entrance.
3-5.2.15 Coordinate with the Architect to ensure proper doors, door frames, and door
hardware are provided. For example, when an electric strike is specified, the door and
door frame should be checked or specified such that it supports the electric strike
(capable of routing cables and so forth).
3-5.2.16 Consider throughput and traffic low of normal operational traffic and
emergency exiting requirements. Combined credentials may result in a decrease in the
false acceptance rate but will increase verification time and decrease the throughput
rate.
3-5.2.17 Decide early if there are special exit technology or egress monitoring needs.
Special exit technologies (request-to exit buttons or cardreaders) require life safety code
consideration and additional door hardware coordination.
3-5.2.18 Additional design guidance for ACS is provided in Figure 3-8.
