We have hundreds properties, a good proportion of which have video surveillance systems. We currently have around a dozen properties with access control systems and are looking to expand that to all buildings with common entrances. We also have a few properties with HVAC systems that are complex enough to qualify as building controls systems. Most of our commercial properties have environmental monitoring and we are installing networked controls for outdoor lighting. Of course, all our commercial buildings have fire alarm systems as well. You will be responsible for managing these and other similar systems directly and indirectly (through contractors) as indicated in the “Key Responsibilities” section.
