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.
Heat
The house has a so-called waterborne heating system for heating elements on the outer walls. If it is cold in the room, check that the valve next to or under the element is open before reporting a fault.
The desired temperature is set using a thermostat placed on the element or, if available, via a room sensor placed on the wall.
Cold
Some rooms with a high heat load are cooled with cooling beams placed in the ceiling. The temperature is then controlled via a room sensor. In rooms where cooling beams are installed, the desired temperature can be set on the room regulator, which is 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 .

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 24 hours a day. In the lab rooms, the ventilation is continuous and is forced when fume hoods are used.
However, remember not to open windows after office hours, when the house is normally locked, as this will trigger an alarm!
In auditoriums and seminar rooms, there are signs posted indicating the number of people the room is designed for.
Lab ventilation
The ventilation in the fume cupboards is regulated so that the air speed is constant in the fume cupboard opening. An acoustic and optical alarm is given from the indicator panel, on each fume cupboard, if the air speed in the door opening is exceeded or fallen below. Reduce the door opening when the low speed alarm is indicated. If the alarm has not been reset after 35-45 seconds, the power to the socket at the fume cupboard is cut off.
NOTE: Remember to close the fume hood door after use to keep energy consumption down.
Auditorium
Ventilation in the auditorium is automatically regulated according to room temperature and the number of people in the room (air quality control).
