Locking:
The cooperative building is equipped with an access system that automatically handles locking, controlled by time of day. The locking system is installed for all entrances, as well as for some interior doors. Access requires the use of an access card linked to a code.
Placed and marked containers for recycling/waste are used in the building, other waste is left in the building's Environmental Room for source sorting into different fractions.
If your current waste fraction is not in this Environmental Room, contact University Service at Umeå University on 090-786 50 00.
Akademiska Hus og Universitetsservice is responsible for regular emptying of sorted waste in the Environment Room.
General (offices, stairwells, corridors, etc.)
All fluorescent lamps are equipped with high-frequency devices to reduce flicker and harmonic filters, as well as pull switches. Luminaires in office rooms are equipped with pull switches.
Entrance and exterior lighting as well as lighting in light shafts are regulated according to daylight; lit at dusk and extinguished at dawn. Plant lighting turns on and off automatically with time channel. Lighting in corridors and public areas is switched on and off via manual push buttons. To reduce energy consumption, this lighting switches off automatically in the evenings. Remember to turn off lights and computers after the end of the working day. An office room corresponds to a consumption of approx. 1000 kWh/year.
Computer rooms, meeting and conference rooms
Lighting is operated manually. Fluorescent luminaires have the option of light regulation.
Large conference room
General lighting is operated via buttons at the doors. Light regulation and other maneuvering takes place from the control panel in the podium.
Lighting light yard
Lighting in the light yard is controlled automatically via timers but can also be operated via a panel in reception on the ground floor.
Sun shielding
The southern facade is provided with solar shading in the form of external curtains. These are controlled automatically via solar and wind sensors.
El
The electrical installations are made with a 5-wire system, which minimizes the electric and magnetic fields in the building. Interventions must not be carried out in the facility! If changes are needed in the electrical system, contact Akademiska Hus.
Fire
A fire alarm (signal sounds) is installed in the building and the alarm goes directly to the emergency services.
If the fire alarm goes off, evacuate the house according to posted signs and evacuation plans. The house has fire doors that are set up with magnets. These close automatically in the event of an alarm to prevent fire and the spread of smoke.
SCARED - WARN - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
• save yourself and
others in your vicinity, but don't take too many risks yourself
• warn others who can
be in danger
• alarm
The emergency services by calling 112
• put out the fire if it is
possible
Fire sectioned doors in corridors and towards escape routes, which are not set up with magnets connected to fire alarms, must always be kept closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke gases.
Escape routes/ Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
The stairwells form independent escape routes. Two stairwells can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green, luminous escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have a battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power cut.
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 staff reports there to the evacuation recipient and leaves their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.
Sprinkler
In addition to fire alarms, automatic sprinkler systems are installed.
Person and elevator alarms
The ability to send an emergency signal is available in elevators. When the push button is held down for more than 15 seconds, a signal sounds outside the door and an alarm is sent to Akademiska Hus. After regular working hours, alarms are sent to on-call staff or security guards.
An alarm telephone with voice communication is also installed for lifts.
Alarms are reset by operating personnel.
Coverage
Remember to lock your room when it is empty, and not to store things that are prone to theft, especially not in the front, in the room.
At night, the building is guarded by 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 staying on the premises.
HEAT
The house has a so-called water-borne system for heating elements on the exterior walls.
In rooms where chilled beams/fan coils are installed, you can set the desired room temperature with a controller placed on the wall.
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 and rest room
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 normally in operation during working hours, Monday-Friday. Via timer buttons on each floor, the ventilation can be started after regular working hours.
However, do not open windows after 4:00 PM or during weekends as this may trigger an alarm!
There are signs posted in the auditorium indicating the number of people the room is designed for.
After regular office hours, i.e. evenings and weekends, the ventilation in the building is switched off to save energy. The ventilation can be started manually again via a push button in the corridor and copy room. The ventilation then continues for the set time.
Conference, group room, staff room
Ventilation is automatically forced when someone is in the respective room.
The University Administration Building meets the requirements for Miljöbyggnad silver. Miljöbyggnad is a certification system for creating environmentally sustainable buildings. It is based on Swedish building and authority regulations and Swedish building practice. Miljöbyggnad is a receipt for important qualities of a building in terms of energy, indoor environment and materials and is used for newly produced and existing buildings regardless of size. In Miljöbyggnad, a building can achieve the bronze, silver or gold rating. Behind the certification is the non-profit association Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC).
Being a tenant in a certified building means taking responsibility for using the premises and the building to create the least possible environmental impact. In order for the property to maintain its certification, it is important that you as a tenant know what applies. This house guide contains information about how the building works and tips on what you as a tenant can influence.
If you have any questions, please contact your manager at Akademiska Hus.
HEAT
To reduce energy use when heating the building, systems are used that convert heat from the sun. The building also has a thermostat that regulates the temperature to maintain an even and optimal level.
Things to consider as a tenant
The radiators are set to ensure a good climate in the rooms together with the ventilation. It is therefore important not to add extra heat, as this can destroy the system. Please contact us if you experience any discomfort.
Energy
The building is mostly supplied with renewable energy, in the form of solar energy, wind power/hydropower and waste heat from industries.
Electrochromic glasses
The building's windows are so-called Electrochromic glass that reduces the use of cooling energy by blocking unwanted solar heat radiation before it enters the building, which keeps the premises cool and contributes to a pleasant indoor climate that is adapted to the season.
Solar thermal loads
To ensure that solar radiation does not add unwanted amounts of heat during the warmer part of the year, solar shading is installed.
Things to consider as a tenant
As a tenant, it is important that the office is furnished as specified upon move-in. If your need for furniture changes, please contact us.
Moisture safety
The building has adequate protection against moisture, through roof drainage and facade materials that ensure that moisture cannot penetrate the property.
Things to consider as a tenant
If you as a tenant suspect or experience problems with leaks or moisture, you should file a fault report with Akademiska Hus.
Sound
It can be disturbing noise or noise that can damage hearing. In educational premises there are requirements from the Swedish Work Environment Authority which noise levels should not be exceeded. When talking about educational premises, the noise from installations etc. should not exceed 35 dBA, for offices it is 35 dBA.
This is included in our work with sound in a building:
• Sound from installations
• Airborne sound insulation
• Impact sound insulation
• Mute outside sounds
The business's own noises, such as from computers, printers, etc., are not taken into account. Noise from installations can be heard if you listen closely, and it is noticeable when the ventilation turns off in the evenings.
Things to consider as a tenant
It is important that you file a bug report if you experience audio-related problems.
Light
A good lighting environment is important for both health and performance. Light is important for the regulation of circadian rhythms, sleep and wakefulness rhythms, mood regulation and activation. There are recommended guidelines for illuminance for general lighting and task lighting for different room/work functions. There are also requirements for access to daylight in homes and premises.
The building has presence-controlled lighting that is regulated in different ways depending on the room's function, which also has a positive effect on the building's energy consumption.
Things to consider as a tenant
As a tenant, it is important that the office is furnished as specified upon move-in. If your need for furniture changes, please contact us.
