The Biology House is certified according to Miljöbyggnad silver.

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.

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. Solar cells were installed in 2019

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 heat during the warmer part of the year, solar shading is installed. Blinds should be drawn down when you leave the premises during summer.

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.


 

There are separate containers for waste sorting in the building's garbage room/environment room. Akademiska Hus is responsible for emptying the garbage room. The tenant is responsible for removing bulky waste, pallets and larger packaging.

The following sorting:

- Paper

- Corrugated cardboard/Cardboard

- Colored and uncolored glass

- Metal

- Plastic packaging, LDPE

- Food waste

-Mixed waste

Recycled paper is sorted, handled and paid for directly by each tenant within the tenant's premises. 

Other waste

Waste such as chemical and biological waste is sorted, handled and paid for directly by each tenant within the premises.

Generally
Entrance and exterior lighting is switched on at dusk and switched off at dawn. Some led lighting is always on.
Lighting is switched on via a motion sensor in the corridor. To reduce energy consumption, the lighting is automatically switched off when no one is present. Remember that lighting and computers are switched off after the end of the working day. An office room corresponds to a consumption of approximately 1000 kWh/year.

Force
The electrical installations are made with a so-called 5-wire system, which minimizes the electric and magnetic fields. Interventions may not be carried out in the facility.
If changes are needed in the facility, contact Akademiska Hus.

Fire
 

Fire protection work is carried out on an ongoing basis. Generally, the landlord is responsible for fire protection outside the premises and the tenant for fire protection inside the premises. This is regulated in the lease agreement.

It is important not to store, place or leave anything in the stairwell or in public areas that could pose a fire risk, make it difficult to access and clean, or be disruptive to the well-being of the occupants.

Fire evacuation alarm

Evacuation takes place via the respective stairwell. Each tenant is responsible for ensuring that there is an updated evacuation plan.

The building is equipped with an evacuation alarm in the event of a fire. In the event of smoke, smoke detectors trigger an evacuation alarm throughout the building and a signal to evacuate is given via a doorbell. If a fire is detected, call 112, as the evacuation alarm is not directly forwarded to the Rescue Services. Try to limit the fire source by closing windows and doors.

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

More information

Detailed information about the building regarding fire cells, evacuation/assembly points, security alarms RWC, ventilation & gas alarms is formulated and described in the rental agreement. Contact your contact person at Akademiska Hus or customer service if you have any questions.
 

Personal and elevator alarms

It is possible to send an emergency signal from 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, the alarm is sent to on-call staff or security guards.

Alarms from elevators are reset by operating personnel.

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 system in the lab normally runs 24/7.

Classrooms and group rooms

Rooms with large variations in occupancy are equipped with demand-controlled ventilation.

Fume cupboard

Fume cupboards are equipped with automatic controls that keep the air velocity in the fume cupboard opening constant. If the door is opened too far, an optical and acoustic alarm is given.

HEAT

The house has a so-called water-based heating system for heating elements on the exterior walls.
The heat is controlled by the outdoor temperature and room temperature. This means that the heat on the element varies with the outdoor temperature and the temperature in the room.

Cold

Some rooms are cooled with fan air coolers, others with cooled ventilation.
