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. During very hot summer days, the indoor temperature is allowed to rise slightly.

Radiators

The building has radiators for heat and to prevent frostbite.
Radiators in the lab can be controlled manually via a control on the radiator.

Office and meeting room

In offices and meeting rooms, the normal temperature can be slightly influenced via a room regulator inside the door. If you turn the switch towards red it will be warmer and if you turn it towards blue it will be colder.

Think of:
• that a manual change of the temperature can take a long time due to the thermal inertia of the building
• that windows should not be opened because it creates an imbalance in the ventilation

The ventilation is controlled automatically via presence, temperature and carbon dioxide sensors. This means that the room climate is automatically adjusted according to the number of people staying in the room.

Extended operating time

The ventilation goes down in all rooms, after regular office hours, except in the lab. This is to save energy. If ventilation is needed after regular office hours, the push button for extended operating time in the corridor can be activated.

In lab rooms, the ventilation is in operation around the clock. In other premises, the ventilation goes down after regular office hours to save energy.

Automatic fire alarm

The building has smoke detectors which, in the event of a fire, automatically trigger a fire alarm throughout the building. The signal to evacuate is via a bell and in some premises also a red flashing light.

Triggered fire alarms go directly to the Rescue Service.
Fires that cannot be extinguished with fire extinguishers must be alerted via telephone 112. Notify the Fire and Rescue Service which gases are handled in the building.

You can manually trigger the alarm yourself using push buttons in escape routes. 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:

ALARM - WARN - ALARM - EXTINGUISH

• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too many risks yourself
• warn others who may be in danger
• alert the emergency services by calling 112
• put out the fire if possible

Generally

Lighting in public areas such as corridors, stairwells and outdoors is controlled by an overarching control system for the Campus area.

In stairwells and corridors, lighting is controlled via a time channel during the day. After the set time, the push button is used to light up again.

Corridors have so-called led lighting that is always on.

Office and lab

In the office and lab, the lighting is turned on and off manually via a push button inside the door.

Lighting fixtures in the lab have pull switches to turn off fixtures. Keep in mind that the luminaire must be switched on manually again when lighting is desired again.

Group and conference rooms

The lighting is switched on and off manually via spring-loaded push buttons.
When no one is in the room, the lighting is switched off automatically via presence detectors.

The lighting can also be dimmed via a rotary dimmer.

Waste disposal

Akademiska Hus is responsible for handling household waste and KTH for other waste fractions. See internal waste procedures.

Paper collection and some source sorting takes place locally on the floor plan.
