SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUALLY AIDED ACCESS CONTROL

An access control system (100) includes a building management system in communication with a wireless device (20), a smart lighting system and a locking device (50), wherein the building management system communicates and assigns a lighting attribute (70a, 70b) to at least one of the wireless device, the smart lighting system and the locking device. A method (200) for providing visually aided access to a building location includes: assigning a lighting attribute (70a, 70b) by a building management system to a user (30, 32); communicating the lighting attribute from the building management system to a wireless device (20) of the user; displaying the lighting attribute on the wireless device; communicating the lighting attribute to a smart lighting system in communication with the building management system, to display the lighting attribute; and terminating the lighting attribute when a locking device (50) in communication with the building management system has been opened by the user.
