Hus Vänern

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. To provide heat and prevent frostbite, there are radiators located along facade walls.

Office

The air supply in offices takes place automatically with a continuous flow.

Extended operating time

After regular office hours, i.e. in the evening and on weekends, the ventilation in the building is switched off to save energy. The ventilation can be started manually again via a blue push button in the corridor and copy room.

Car parking

Parking spaces intended for vehicles with a handicap permit can be found close to the entrances.

Entrances and lifts

The entrances are accessible and all floors can be reached via lift.

Tactile walkways

A tactile walkway for people with impaired vision is available from the bus stop to the welcome center in the main entrance.

RWC and rest room

Toilets adapted for the disabled are available on each floor. In rest rooms and at the RWC there are security alarms with red push buttons labeled "emergency signal". Alarms are indicated locally by sound and a red flashing light outside each room. It is important that you who see and hear this alarm contact the person concerned who needs help. The security alarm is forwarded to reception during the day. Alarms are reset inside each room by pressing the reset button.

Automatic fire alarm

Evacuation alarms in case of fire are triggered via smoke detectors placed in escape routes, technical spaces and in spaces where many people gather. Triggered alarm, i.e. signal to evacuate, given via bell throughout the house.

Triggered alarms go to the emergency services. Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.
You can manually trigger the evacuation alarm using push buttons in connection with the escape routes.

Fire cells

The building is divided into a number of fire cells to prevent fire and smoke from spreading.
Each fire cell is delimited by fire-rated walls and doors. In principle, all floors, stairwells, elevators, operating spaces and waste rooms are their own fire cells. Doors in fire cell boundaries can be set in the open position for transport with magnetic suspension and closed manually with a push button labeled "fire door closer". When an evacuation alarm is triggered, the doors close automatically within the alarmed area.

Doors in fire cell boundaries must absolutely not be blocked by wedges or the like!

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. 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.
