Digital access and sustainability over the building life-cycle: installation

Advantages of wireless digital solutions

ASSA ABLOY’s innovative digital solutions incorporate a wide range of cable-free options, from digital devices which users can unlock with their smartphone to smart-key operated access management systems and locking devices powered by energy harvesting technology.

With solutions which require no wiring around the door, there’s no drilling or cabling, which helps keep power consumption down. This results in much less damage to the building fabric, meaning fewer repairs.

Additionally, because wireless installation is faster, fitters make fewer journeys to and from the site, further reducing energy use.

Installation case studies

In Gdansk, developer Torus’s new Format office building and Alchemia mixed-use development are equipped with advanced technologies and set the highest standards for innovation and sustainability. They favour digital access solutions which reduce both carbon footprint and energy costs.

Choosing from ASSA ABLOY’s portfolio of wireless digital access solutions helped deliver this: «The lack of wiring significantly reduces material use, reduces costs, and ensures quick installation», confirmed Torus’ Roman Sokolowski.

Wireless installation offers additional benefits. It enables businesses to extend digital access control to areas where it would be prohibitively expensive or infeasible as Näsijärvi Sailing Club discovered.

Cable-free fitting is also faster. It takes perhaps a few minutes’ work to switch an existing cylinder for a digital one.

Smart product design

Moreover, ASSA ABLOY’s implementation of award-winning smart product design principles — such as the common template shared by multiple ASSA ABLOY Cam-Motion^® Door Closers — helps installers complete the job quickly and accurately, saving time, money and energy.

Cutting the cables also gives the flexibility to reinstall and reuse door and other devices as part of a more sustainable approach to renovation. «Wireless provides flexibility, giving the possibility of expanding the system or using it elsewhere in the case of changes in the arrangement of office space», added Sokolowski.
