Who oversees the uses of elevators, operations of the buildings comm systems, and assists in controlling the HVAC system?

The role of overseeing the use of elevators, managing the operations of building communication systems, and assisting in the control of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system typically falls under the purview of a lobby control officer. This individual is responsible for coordinating building resources during an incident, ensuring that elevators are used safely and effectively, maintaining communication with various building systems, and managing environmental controls within the building.

The lobby control officer acts as a critical point of contact for incident management teams as they work to ensure operational efficiency and safety during emergency situations. They have the knowledge and authority to manage the flow of personnel and equipment within the building and ensure that necessary systems are functioning to support operations.

In contrast, while the incident commander oversees the overall incident response and the logistics chief manages resources and support functions, the specific tasks related to elevator operations, communications, and HVAC control are aligned more closely with the lobby control officer's responsibilities.
