General information and address

Väinö has been a modern multi-use building from the beginning, and it has been full of various activities.

Väinös are strongly present in the history of this property, built in 1928. The building was designed by architect Väinö Vähäkallio. Design is a Nordic classicism typical of the 1920s. The building served as the head office of Osuusliike Elanto in 1928–1995, when CEO Väinö Tanner was strongly present in the building's operations. Väinö Tanner led his entire organization with a strong grip and he also lived in the house.

It is therefore natural that when the building relaunched after the renovation, we want to respect its history and name the building a house called Väinö.

Väinö has 11,171 square meters of office space for rent.

Address: Hämeentie 11, Helsinki

Keys and access control rights

Locking system:

In connection to the change of the locking system, the agreed number of access control keys will be distributed to new tenants. If the tenant wants more keys than originally agreed, an order can be placed through this form: https://app.incy.io/vaino/report/139241/form

At the end of the lease, the tenant must hand over all the ordered keys (+ any additional keys) to the property maintenance crew. If keys are lost, the lost keys will be charged to the tenant. When the tenant leaves, the property manager carries out an exit check, and the returned keys is one of the conditions for returning the rental deposit. Please return all keys at the end of the lease, there will be a charge of EUR 40 for every lost key.

Access control:

The properties front doors, elevators and the doors to the tenants premises have access control. Tenants will receive a certain number of access control keys from the maintenance crew, the keys grant access to the front doors. If the tenant wants more access control keys than originally agreed, an order can be placed through this form: https://app.incy.io/vaino/report/139241/form

Access control keys have the same return instructions as regular keys. There will be a charge of EUR 40 for every lost access control key. Lost keys must be reported immediately so that we are able to remove the card from the system. Misplaced keys pose a serious threat to the security of the property, including the parking garage.

Security services

The property is guarded. In addition, burglar alarms have been installed in the exterior doors and ground floor windows of the property. Tenants are responsible for the alarm systems on their own premises.

Safety

The health and safety of our tenants and other property users, our partners, our neighbors and our staff is of key importance to us.

The security of the property is constantly monitored and improved. We record abnormal activities, accidents and near misses reported to us and monitor the implementation of corrective actions. The property is inspected annually for compliance and best practice assessments. We also hold an annual evacuation exercise with a training session, and gather information from tenants to help us better secure the property. The property also has a defibrillator.

We encourage all those working and visiting the property to make safety-related observations and report directly to the property manager. We investigate all fault reports and strive to implement improvements where possible. It is also good to remember that everyone can contribute to common security through their own actions.

The rescue plan is available electronically:

Garbage disposal

The waste rooms are located in the basement. The entrance to the waste rooms is through the lower yard or by a tower lift.

We strive to maximize the recycling of waste generated on the property. The properties waste bins, including those at individual workstations, allow for the sorting of white paper, other paper and general waste. The kitchen areas allow for the sorting of biowaste, metal and glass whenever possible.

As a tenant you can:

  • Inform all employees about recycling and waste sorting
  • Aim for paperless office
  • Improve waste sorting
  • Take care of the proper treatment of electrical and electronic waste or ask us to organise a specific recycling campaign

ENERGY WASTE GOES INTO THE ORANGE CONTAINERS

Almost all combustible materials are suited for energy waste. The collection of energy waste is cheaper than the collection of mixed waste. Plastics are often utilized as energy waste, as plastic produced in households is often dirty and unsuitable for recycling. Other combustible waste, such as wood, cardboard and paper products, can also be placed in energy waste. However, they should primarily be recycled as materials. Energy waste is made into a fuel that can be used in several industries and power plants. This can reduce the use of non-renewable energy.

ENERGY WASTE CAN CONTAIN

  • Disposable plastic bottles. Bottles with a deposit should be returned accordingly!
  • Plastic containers and boxes (rinsed plastic food packaging, such as yoghurt and butter boxes)
  • Plastic canisters and buckets
  • Plastic rims
  • Plastic packaging trays and cases
  • Plastic lids and caps
  • Plastic cords
  • Disposable plastic containers
  • Styrofoam, foams
  • Small plastic objects (e.g. brushes and plastic pen cases)
  • Packaging containing plastic and paper
  • Textiles and clothing
  • Dirty, damp cardboard
  • Other cardboard and paperboard only if they do not have a separate collection
  • Books and covers
  • Posters
  • Plastic and wax coated paper
  • Small stickers and glue papers
  • Wrapping papers
  • Paper handkerchiefs
  • Candy wrappers
  • Wood waste (not pressure-treated)

CARDBOARDS

  • cardboard
  • brown cardboard
  • kraft paper
  • brown envelopes
  • brown paper bags

Tapes, labels and hooks do not need to be removed. No wet or dirty material, foil, styrofoam, or plastic.

OFFICE AND RECYCLED PAPERS

You can put white drawing and notepad paper into the recycled paper category. Paperback books are suitable for collection as is, but covers must be removed from hardcover books. The recycling of large quantities should be agreed separately. Telephone and product catalogs are also suitable as recycled paper. Remember that cardboard should not be placed in the paper collection, as the brown color of the material will cause stains in the recycled paper being produced. Also, gift papers should not be placed in the paper collection as they may be through-dyed or made with foil and may include tapes and labels.

Recycled paper includes all the paper products that come through the mailbox:

  • Newspapers and magazines
  • envelopes
  • advertisements

BIOWASTE

Biowaste includes all organic and decomposing materials such as:

  • Fruit, vegetables, roots and eggs
  • Waste from berries, fish and fruit
  • food scraps
  • coffee or tea scraps with paper filters
  • used kitchen towels and napkins
  • dried and spoiled food
  • soil, plant parts and withered flowers
  • garden waste
  • cardboard egg holders
  • wood-based bedding for pets

METAL

Some metals are collected separately due to their high utility value. It is worth sorting metals at their place of use, as scrap collectors pay more for it than what they would for unsorted metal. Sorted scrap metal is used as an industrial raw material. When it comes to sorting, the magnetism of the material is important. Magnetism is utilized in the separation of steel from other metals such as aluminum. Although aluminum is not magnetic, it can also be mechanically separated.

Suitable for scrap metal collection:

  • mirrors
  • metal reinforcement scrap
  • cable fragments
  • packaging steel
  • tin cans
  • air conditioning pipes
  • bathtubs

Scrap metal must not be mixed with:

  • batteries
  • Fluorescent lamps

GLASS

The collected glass is used as a raw material for new glass products. Good quality recycled glass is used in the manufacturing process of glass wool and packaging glass, while weaker quality materials can be reused as other construction material. Window glass must not be placed in normal glass collection. However, some glazing shops accept flat glass generated from construction waste. Windscreens laminated or enamelled glass, wire-reinforced glass, selective-glass or mirror glass must also not be placed into glass recycling. Intact windows can be reused. If no suitable recycling option can be found for the glass, it must be taken to a landfill.

Heating appliances, radiators and thermostatic radiator valves

The property is heated by water circulating radiators. The radiators circulate hot water set according to the outdoor temperature. The heat transfer of the coil can be limited by setting the coil valve smaller. The maximum power from the radiator is obtained by opening the valve to its maximum position. The radiator valve is a sensitive control device that must be handled with care.

PLEASE DO NOT COVER THE RADIATORS

The radiators transfer heat to the room by both radiating and by heating the room air circulating in the vicinity of the radiator. In order for the radiator to be able to deliver the designed amount of heat, it must not be covered or obstructed. Furniture in front of the radiator or long curtains can reduce heat transfer significantly. They also interfere with the operation of the thermostatic radiator valve.

A standard thermostatic radiator measures the room air temperature in its immediate vicinity. When the temperature rises to the set value, the valve turns to a smaller setting or closes for a while. The radiator may feel cool, but the room temperature still stays comfortable. If the heating coil and its standard thermostatic radiator valve are blocked with furniture or curtains, the small space next to the radiator will heat up quickly and the valve will close. In this case, the valve remains closed most of the time and the heat generation of the radiator is insufficient. Remember that the temperature of your hand is about +35 ° C. For example, a +30 ° C radiator might feel cool, but in fact this radiator still heats the room.

The design of the radiator valve and the control plug at the bottom of the radiator must not be opened or modified. When the thermostat is working properly, the room is suitably warm at all times. If the radiator is completely cold, the room is warm enough and heating has stopped. In this case, the radiator may be completely cold, even if it is frosty outside. Normally a battery is only partially (from above) warm because the thermostat only dispenses a suitable amount of heat into the room. If only the lower part of the radiator is constantly warm and the upper part is cold, the radiator must be vented. The need for this is also indicated by the sound made by the radiator.

Instructions for saving energy

Property users have an impact on the energy and water consumption of the property through their own actions. This can result in direct savings through reduced costs as heating and water consumption have an effect on the maintenance rent.

LIGHTS

Most property users have the option to turn off the lights from empty rooms. Lighting is one of the largest electricity users. Each tenant is billed for their consumption according to meter readings, and the savings in lighting are directly attributable to the company as a result of reduced electricity bills.

WATER

Even the slightest leak can cause significant water loss over a long period of time. Leaking taps and toilets should be reported immediately to a service technician who will replace the necessary seals. If you suspect that a toilet is leaking, you can easily test it out by putting a piece of paper on the back edge of the bowl.

HEATING AND COOLING

  • By adjusting the radiator valve thermostats, some room temperature changes can be made and a small saving in energy consumption can be achieved.
  • Most of the premises have mechanical ventilation. When there is mechanical ventilation in the room, the control valves in the window frames must be kept closed so that they do not cause unnecessary draft and excessive heating requirements.
  • If you need to ventilate by opening the windows, the ventilation should be quick. In principle, rooms with mechanical ventilation do not need to be ventilated.
  • Most of the rooms are climate controlled and have a control panel on the wall. The use of air conditioning during the heating season can cause significant energy loss. If necessary, please ask a service technician for advice on using the controller.

WASTE DISPOSAL

Please read the sorting instructions provided and go-through the locations of the waste disposal points. For recycling to work, the property user must sort the waste. Putting waste in the wrong containers causes additional costs to the property and thereby affects the maintenance rent. Advanced sorting also reduces our load on the environment.
