BioCentrum

The building uses placed and marked containers for recycling/waste, other waste is left in the building's Environmental Room for source separation into different fractions.

If your current waste fraction is not in this Environmental Room, please contact the Intendant (room manager) on tel. 018-67 12 94.

Akademiska Hus and SLU are responsible for regular emptying of sorted waste in Miljörum.

BioCentrum was environmentally certified in 2013 according to Miljöbyggnad, new production 2.0.

The building's BioCentrum meets the requirements for Environmental Building silver. Miljöbyggnad is a certification system for creating environmentally sustainable buildings. It is based on Swedish building and authority regulations as well as Swedish construction practice. Environmental building is a certificate of 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 Environmental Construction, a building can achieve the bronze, silver or gold rating. Behind the certification stands the non-profit association Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC).

Being a tenant in a certified building means a responsibility in the use of the premises and the building to create the smallest possible environmental impact. In order for the property to be able to maintain the 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.

Entrances and lifts

There are a total of four lifts in the building. All floors can be reached by wheelchair via the lifts.

SCARED - WARN - ALARM - EXTINGUISH

• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too many risks yourself

• warn others who may be in danger

• alert the Emergency Services by calling 112

• put out the fire if possible

Fires that cannot be extinguished with deployed hand fire extinguishers must be alerted via telephone 112. Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.

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, lifts, operating areas and waste rooms have their own fire cells. Doors in fire cell boundaries can be magnetically suspended in the open position for transport and closed manually with a push button marked "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 emergency exits 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.
