Mixed garbage is placed in the garbage compactor at the loading dock, (KBC, floor 2). Food waste is left in the room for refrigerated waste, (KBC, floor 2). Akademiska Hus is responsible for emptying containers and containers.
The tenant is responsible for removing bulky waste, pallets and larger packaging.
Generally
All fluorescent fixtures in the building are equipped with high-frequency devices and harmonic filters. LED lighting has been installed in public areas. A gradual replacement to LED lighting throughout the building has begun. Outdoor lighting is switched on when it is dark outside and switched off when it is light outside.
Entrance hall
Lighting turns on when it is dark outside and turns off when it is light outside.
Corridors and stairwells
The lighting is switched on in the morning and switched off in the evening automatically. At other times, the lighting can be switched on and off manually via push buttons on the walls. If the lighting is not switched off manually, it will be switched off automatically later.
Escape staircase
The lighting is turned on and off via push buttons. If the lighting is not turned off manually, it will turn off automatically.
Emergency lighting
In corridors and stairwells, there are luminaires and directional signs that are always lit, even during power outages.
Toilets and cleaning
The lighting turns on and off automatically when someone enters the room.
Force
All outlets in the equipment room/lab are powered via a separate transformer for lab power. These outlets are also protected with ground fault circuit interrupters.
Fire
A fire alarm (signal sounds) is installed in the building and the alarm goes directly to the emergency services (112).
If the fire alarm sounds, evacuate the building according to posted signs and evacuation plans. Fire doors fitted with magnets close automatically to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
RESCUE - WARNING - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too big risks yourself
• warn others who may be in danger
• alert the emergency services by calling 112
• extinguish the fire if possible
Fire-rated doors in corridors and on escape routes that are not equipped with magnets connected to the fire alarm must always be kept closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Escape routes / Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
Remember to never place things in the way that would prevent evacuation.
The stairwells are independent escape routes. Most workplaces can reach two stairwells. The escape routes, which are marked with green illuminated escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power outage.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point (see the respective evacuation plan). The personnel must report there to the evacuation recipient and leave their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this has been done.
Flammable equipment
Installation of flammable equipment or storage of gas cylinders with flammable gases may only be placed in ventilated, fire-rated chemical cabinets, or in specific rooms adapted for such storage. As a user, you are responsible for ensuring that gas cylinders are labeled and that fire extinguishing equipment required for the operation is procured.
Personal and elevator alarms
The possibility of sending an emergency signal is available in elevators and this alarm goes to the academic building staff. Disabled toilets and rest rooms also have an emergency signal and if the push button is held down for more than 15 seconds, a signal sounds outside the door and an alarm goes to the business. After regular working hours, the alarm goes to the on-call staff or security guard. For elevators, there is also an emergency telephone with voice communication installed.
Alarms from elevators are reset by operating personnel.
Coverage
Remember to lock your room when it is empty, and not to store items that could be stolen in the room.
At night, the building is guarded by security guards.
If you see people you don't know, ask who they are and what they are doing on the premises. Be prepared to show identification if you are on the premises, especially after office hours.
HEAT
The house has a so-called water-borne heating system for radiators on the exterior walls. If it is cold in the room, check that the valve next to or under the radiator is open before reporting a fault.
Cold
Some rooms with high heat loads are cooled with chilled beams placed in the ceiling. The temperature is controlled via room sensors.
Openable windows should only be opened in exceptional cases; we recommend that they be closed so that ventilation and heating/cooling can function as intended.
Car parking
Parking spaces intended for vehicles with a handicap permit can be found close to the main entrance. Please see Campus map .
Entrances and lifts
The entrances are accessible and all floors can be reached via lift.
RWC
Toilets adapted for the disabled are available on each floor. At the RWC there are security alarms with red push buttons labeled "emergency signal". Alarms are reset inside each room by pressing the reset button.
Generally
The ventilation in the building is in operation around the clock. In Lab rooms, ventilation is continuous and forced when fume hoods are used.
In building C, ventilation closes at night and on weekends.
Do not open windows after 4 p.m. or during weekends as this triggers an alarm.
Lab ventilation
The ventilation in the hoods is regulated so that the air speed is constant in the hood opening. An audible and light alarm is given from the display panel, on the respective hood, if the air speed in the door opening is exceeded or undershot. Reduce hatch opening when low speed alarm is indicated. If the alarm has not been reset after 35-45 seconds, the power to the outlet at the hood is cut.
ATTENTION! Remember to close the hood after use so that energy consumption can be kept down and a good function of the system can be maintained.
Generally
When LPG and hydrogen are used in laboratories, valves are opened via key switches in each lab.
Opened gas valves are indicated by a yellow indicator light on the key switch.
Keys
Keys for key switches can be obtained from the respective person in charge of the department's subject area. Key only fits de lab. which the subject area disposes of.
Power failure
In the event of a power failure, gas valves are closed to avoid gas emissions when the power returns. Key switches must therefore be reactivated after a power cut.
Fault in gas installation
To avoid gas spreading in the premises in the event of a leak, a safety system is located in the gas storage. This closes a valve on the main when an abnormally high flow is indicated. After the safety system is reset, in the Chemical Warehouse, key switches must be reactivated for the gas to become available.
In the event of a fault with the gas plant, this is reported to the Chemical Storage.
