KTH Campus
For opening hours and contact details for the library, please see KTH's website.
Generally
In order to obtain good air quality in the premises, the ventilation is adapted to the number of people and the equipment planned for the rooms/premises.
On very hot summer days, the internal temperature is allowed to rise.
Office/office landscape
The normal temperature in the office can be influenced via a room sensor placed by the door/on the wall. If it is turned towards plus it will be warmer and towards minus it will be colder. Feel free to make small adjustments and wait for the result.
Keep in mind that a manual change in temperature can take up to one working day to take effect depending on the thermal inertia of the building.
Salon
The air flow in the salon is controlled by the room's temperature and carbon dioxide content and is automatically adjusted to the number of people.
Meeting room/study room
In some rooms you may need to increase the air flow manually via push buttons. The air flow then increases for a preset time.
Extended operating time
After the library closes, the ventilation is turned off. You can start the ventilation again via a push button located in the corridor. The ventilation then continues further for a preset time.
Airing
Some windows can be opened for ventilation.
Sun shielding
The south, west and east sides of the building have awnings to achieve a good room climate and prevent glare. These are lowered automatically in bright sunshine if the wind is not too strong (> approx. 7 m/s).
Public facilities
In public premises such as book halls, reading rooms, group rooms, etc., the lighting is switched on and off manually from the reception with the possibility of different lighting scenarios. In group rooms, presence detectors switch off the lighting if no one has been in the room for a certain period of time.
Corridors and stairs etc
Lighting in corridors, stairwells and outdoors is controlled by a superior control system for the Campus area. Lighting in corridors and stairwells, when they are normally off, can be switched on with push buttons for a preset time.
Office
In offices, lighting is switched on and off manually via push buttons.
Learning lab
Here, the lighting is switched on and off manually via spring-loaded push buttons.
Switch on and off with a short press of a button and adjust the light with a long press of the button.
Miscellaneous
For example, when celebrating Lucia, the lighting in the public premises can be turned off from the reception.
Keep in mind that office parts and the Learning lab may also need to be switched off on site.
Automatic fire and evacuation alarm
There are smoke detectors in the building which automatically trigger a fire and evacuation alarm in the event of fire smoke. You can manually trigger the alarm yourself using push buttons in connection with the escape routes.
A triggered alarm in the event of a fire calls the Rescue Service and is also sent to Akademiska Hus emergency services.
The signal to evacuate is given, in public spaces via the loudspeaker system as a voice message in Swedish and English, and in other affected areas by bells and flashing lights.
The emergency services can always be called via telephone 112.
Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.
Of course, no two fires are the same and it depends on the circumstances how you should act in each individual case. Still, learn the basic rule:
SAFE – WARN – ALARM – EXTINGUISH
- Save yourself and others in your vicinity, but don't take too many risks yourself.
- Warn others who may be in danger.
- Alert the emergency services by calling 112.
- Extinguish the fire if possible.
Source sorting of waste takes place on each business plan for paper, plastic, tin, batteries and cartons. Sorted waste is handled by janitors for storage in a central waste room on level 1, before further transport.
