ABSTRACT
Building illumination and security levels are important in the protection of information assets and overall security of personnel, property, and the company. The physical security standards and requirements of most companies have a twofold affect, protection of assets of the company and protection of the employees. Protecting critical assets within the infrastructure, including transportation, loading docks, and operations, is essential for security, public health and safety, and economic vitality, from the national to the local level. Lighting is based on an unaided person visual assessment. Illumination can be one of the most inexpensive and best deterrents for the physical security applications. A building that contains complete business model functions critical to the overarching existence of the company, such as the corporate headquarters with research and development, and other major functions. This type of building has a main client of greater than 800 personnel and occupies the majority of the square footage or is the only occupant.
