On February 6 a ceremonial signing of the Protocol of Intent on Cooperation between NTUU "KPI", corporation "Scientific park" Kyiv Polytechnic ", LLC" Island MANAGEMENT "and LLC" Technologies of nature " was held.
This document provides a framework of cooperation of the University with its partners for the implementation of an ambitious project «POLYTECO SCIENCE CITY» and «Own heat."
Both projects are breakthrough not only for the KPI, but for the whole of Ukraine. On campus, it is planned to build a research and production complex with a total area of 251 thousand m2 - an innovative city KPI (project «POLYTECO SCIENCE CITY»). A business incubator, venture capital funds, laboratory prototypes, special facilities for high-tech industries, lectures, offices, coworking center, hotel, catering enterprises will be located in its buildings. Innovative city KPI will be the medium for the development of high technologies through scientific and industrial areas KPI, as well as international and domestic high-tech companies and investors. It is clear that its base will be used not only for research and development purposes, but also for the training of university students.
An integral part of the innovative city will become its own Energy Generating Company (the project "own heat"), which will provide the entire University with thermal energy from renewable energy sources. It will put an end to dependence of the KPI from central heating, and hence the need to spend huge amounts of money on heating at rates that are constantly growing. For this campus it is planned to build three thermal power plants. They will ensure uninterrupted supply of heat in the residential and educational buildings (about 90% of the annual volume of annual deliveries). In addition, throughout the year cogeneration plants will be used, heat pumps and solar panels for hot water (approximately 10% of annual supply).
