Green emergency release to red

Hello, 

 

Just wondering if anyone knows about whether the green emergency release buttons are required for entry exit doors. This is for student accommodation and we are having serious issues with them over the last year pressing the release buttons to keep the doors unlocked because they either lost their key-card or are too lazy to take them. One thought was only having the red emergency buttons connected to the fire alarm to prevent them misusing the doors. Similar thing with the fire escapes of the flats, they go to an external staircase and are regularly propped open. 

 

So basically you allowed to remove the green break glasses and only have red as emergency releases? 

 

Thanks
