An IMEG whitepaper outlines innovative early warning strategies that combine a K-12 building\u2019s new or existing security and lighting systems to function as a notification resource during an active assailant event or environmental emergency. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cK-12 Security + Lighting\u201d\u00a0<\/span>demonstrates<\/span>\u00a0how one cohesive platform can detect and identify various threats and communicate their locations, probable areas of safety, egress information, as well as other helpful directives.<\/span>\u00a0Authors of the paper are\u00a0<\/span>IMEG Architectural Lighting Leader\u00a0<\/span>Shanna Olson<\/span>, Security Team Project Executive<\/span> Charles LeBlanc, <\/span>and Security Consulting Group Leader Ryan Searles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The paper explains how the two systems can be integrated <\/span>and describes the various lighting control sequences that communicate\u00a0<\/span>the various\u00a0<\/span>directives. Virtual design animations are included to <\/span>demonstrate the separate sequences suggested for active assailant events and for environmental emergencies such as fires and tornadoes.<\/span><\/p>\n
