Services for operation and maintenance in buildings and on the ETH Zurich site
The Alarm Organisation comprises the Emergency Desk and the Uniformed Security Service.
Emergency Desk
The Emergency Desk is the contact point for all incidents connected to safety and security with regard to persons, buildings and equipment. If an alarm is triggered, the relevant internal and external intervention agencies are alerted and steps are taken to identify and resolve the problem. The Emergency Desk constitutes the link between the various intervening agencies and those responsible for the alarms.
Uniformed Security Service
Out of office hours, the Uniformed Security Service are responsible for the enforcement of the house regulations in the buildings of ETH Zurich. They are the first to intervene by an alarm triggered by the technical or security systems in the buildings. They are also the first to intervene if there is an incident, such as an accident, in case of fire , in the event of a break-?in, an assault or damage to property.
We supply the buildings on the ETH Zentrum campus, the cantonal administrative buildings (Walche) and some other, privately-owned properties in the university district with environmentally friendly district heating. ETH Zurich’s district heating system is connected to Zurich’s district heating network and is operated in cooperation with the City of Zurich authorities.
By using the waste heat from ETH buildings and surplus energy from Zurich’s district heating network, ETH only needs to burn gas and oil to cover 15% of its total heating requirement. In this way, we are making a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality.
