Other maintenance
We will continue with ongoing work related to lighting replacements, prompted by the EU decision to phase out light sources containing mercury. Akademiska Hus has been working on a plan for phasing out and has begun the process of replacing fixtures. This work will continue in 2024 and in the coming years.
Due to increased pressure on suppliers and contractors, some work may need to be rescheduled, either brought forward or delayed depending on deliveries. Akademiska Hus maintains ongoing dialogues with our framework agreement contractors to coordinate ongoing and upcoming work. Despite this, there may be occasions where, with shorter notice, we will need to carry out work in corridors or offices that may be perceived as disruptive for a limited time.
This happened during 2023
2023 was an intense year. Construction projects have been started, ongoing and also completed. The renovation of the Beta house has been both completed and celebrated with an inauguration. The final stage of the renovation of the A building is now also completed and handed over.
The roof of Beta has undergone its final stage and is now finally complete. We have also finished installing new tiles in the Library Café and prepared a new exam room in close proximity to the warehouse.
In addition to the big things that are happening, operations work on a daily basis on things in silence. In 2023, for example, the administration at Akademiska Hus has received and handled over 1,750 error reports, in addition to which we have also carried out about 2,400 inspection and maintenance points regarding installations, doors, gates, equipment and more for preventive purposes. We have replaced almost 700 filters in our ventilation systems and with that also carried out OVK inspections in some of the properties. We have gone through more than 730 engine heaters before the winter to ensure that they all work. We have also carried out audit inspections on switchgear in the C-house, B-house and D-house.
Around the campus, we have carried out lighting measures where we have replaced over 1,600 luminaires in offices, corridors, classrooms, shelters and study areas. We have also replaced windows, heating substations, ventilation units and cooling machines, and in connection with other work we have taken the opportunity to insulate the outer roof to retain the heat within the building. As a result, together with the university, we have reduced our climate impact and reduced our energy consumption by a total of 720 MWh. We have also implemented measures with reuse where, for example, we have used materials from courtyards in the D building.
