The main task of the maintenance department of NTUU "KPI" is the maintenance and development of the material and technical base of the University for its educational and research activities and the creation of social conditions for students and staff.
The University "Property" is large and difficult to operate. The total area allotted for permanent use KPI is 111.33 hectares, including recreation - 35 hectares. The total area of the material and technical base consists of more than 550 thousand m2, including educational buildings and objects of economic activity - 408 thousand m2 and 146 thousand m2 dormitories. We also have on the balance 6 residential buildings, 4 recreations, park, hundreds of kilometers of external engineering networks, landscaping and other elements.
In autumn, we ensured timely opening of the new academic year as well as start of the heating season on time. The following data is about the other results of our activities and tasks for the current year.
Repair work. The total amount of funds used in 2014 in the repair work at the facilities of the university, is set at 19.54 million UAH (in 2013 - 19.3 million UAH) overhaul - UAH 2.1 million; Maintenance – 1.2 million UAH; emergency repairs – 8,8 million UAH. Production and operational enterprise performed the volume of works on 5,76 million UAH, the campus on their own and student construction teams repaired hostels on – 1,42 million UAH (in 2013 - 1.82 million UAH), in-house departments - to 0.83 million UAH (in 2013. – 0,33 million UAH). Among the units performed a significant amount of work at their own expense, it should be named: FICT - 238 thousand UAH; CPES - 350 thousand UAH; CCA - 100 thousand UAH; IPP - 427 thousand UAH; FMM - 116 thousand UAH.
When performing repair work in 2014 a great attention was given to increasing the reliability of power supply facilities of the University and the conservation of energy resources.
Maintenance of the Campus. In campus NTUU "KPI" there compactly located 20 student hostels, the student clinic, the sanatorium. There are lived about 14 thousand students. Money income of the campus is composed by students accommodation payments. Last year, it was accounted for 40 980 thousand UAH.
In 2014 there was organized and carried out a series of measures aimed at improving the living conditions of students. In particular, major repairs of residential blocks, corridors, common areas, gyms, showers were done. It was conducted paving of the surrounding area, repairing doors and vestibules hostels, as well as continued work on the improvement squares "Sosnoviy" and "Poliana".
The main components of the total costs up repair work are: repair - 7869 thousand UAH; purchase of soft and hard inventory - 2,310 thousand UAH; other expenses – 13 753 thousand UAH. Of the total expenditure repairs is up to 25%, but given the difficult state of the material base of the campus, this is not enough.
Due to hostels’ overpopulation it is increased the load on the plumbing and electrical networks, the lift facilities are in difficult condition. In addition, the University has committed to transfer all the hostels on electric stoves. All this makes it necessary to increase funding for repairs.
The campus local computer network was modernized and updated. The payment for accommodation is carried out through the Internet. There is the official website of the NTUU "KPI" campus, which is a carrier of relevant and useful information and a means of interactive communication with the management of campus students.
Expenditure on services and resources. The global economic crisis and a significant rise in prices of energy resources makes an accent on the energy conservation and effectiveness, reducing the amount of fuel and energy resources and financial costs. Acute as ever is the question of introducing new technologies that will reduce the cost of the buildings. Therefore, we work to reduce the consumption of energy (heat, water, electricity) by improving the efficiency of their use by replacement or reconstruction of equipment, introduction of new technologies, the development of heat, water, gas and electricity.
In 2014 University consumed (see. Table): heat - 51.54 thousand Gcal (in 2013 - 64.07 thousand Gcal); electricity – 17,375 million kW • h (in 2013 - 19.10 million kW • h); Cold water – 1,175 million m3 (in 2013 – 1,35 million m3); Natural gas - 147, 975 thousand m3 (in 2013 - 197.2 thousand m3). The total cost of resources consumed in 2014 was 48.113 million UAH, which is 8% less than in 2013. For 10 years, the cost of energy rose by 3.7 times (2013 compared with 2003). Over the past year, compared with 2013 there is a reduction in the consumption of heat (to 19.55%) and electricity (at 9.05%) of the energy of cold water (at 13.09%), natural gas (45,67%).
Heat. Costs for heat consumption in 2014 amounted to 61.2% of total expenditure on utilities, in 2013 - 63.18%. Thermal energy savings at the University is amounted to 10040 Gcal. Heat savings in educational buildings are 4641 Gcal. Among the buildings, we allowed excess heat: building №1 - 12 Gcal; building №4 - 12 Gcal. In general, heat consumption by the University in 2014 decreased by 16.6%. The consumption by the campus was reduced on 16.2%.
Power consumption. Costs for electric energy consumption in 2014 amounted to 25.29% of total expenditure on utilities, in 2013 - 26.9%. Electricity savings in the university is 485 thousand KW • h, or 2.8% compared with 2013 savings achieved by the majority of the objects of the University. It should be noted the positive shift in the power consumption by the campus: expenses decreased by 364 thousand. KW • h (or 4%), CPES - 40 thousand KW • h (or 6.1%).
Water consumption. The consumption of a cold water at the university dropped by almost 7%. Among the buildings, which allowed an increase in water consumption, - №№ 1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 17, 22, 23, 28, STL. The Campus achieved significant water savings (6%) compared with 2013. That is 58.524 thousand m3. Increased water consumption were made by the hostels: №1 - 9.07%; № 8 - 2.03%; № 20 - 2.69%. Average on campus water consumption in 2014 amounted to 68.7 m3 / inhabitant, which is 6.5% less than last year. However, the provision of water conservation on campus is still significant, so the administration is necessary to pay attention to the significant difference in water consumption between the hostel and take action to eliminate the cause.
Results of the audit of water use educational buildings found an increase in water consumption during off-hours, caused by the malfunction of plumbing fixtures. In some cases, the night consumption is equal to the day one. The most problematic buildings are as follows: №№ 1, 5, 11, 18, 19, 22, 31.
Energy saving. Last year, the project of the integrated LED lighting system was implemented in NTUU “KPI”: 1150 LED lamps were installed in 42 of the 66 audiences and 5000 LED lights in the hallways and administration offices of main building. It is expected to reduce electricity consumption by 385 thousand. KW • h / year totaling 500 thousand UAH.
Total at the end of 2014 in the University it was reduced consumption of heat and electricity, cold water and natural gas. But reserve energy savings is significant. Therefore, the heads of departments in conjunction with the services of the chief engineer must continue to be guided by the energy efficiency program NTUU "KPI" for 2012-2015.
Lift facilities. It was created in the University the department for maintenance of elevators, which provides the work of 74 mechanisms in academic buildings and 15- in dormitories. The permit for the operation and maintenance of lifts up to 2018 is obtained.
Motor company NTUU "KPI" operates on the basis of economic accountability. In 2014 there was obtained 4924 thousand UAH of profits. Revenues from paid services are used for their own needs.
Center for Sport and Physical Education. Educational building number 24 - with a swimming pool, profile game halls, auditoriums and other educational premises - one of the most difficult to maintain object of the University.
To maintain this economy annually significant funds are spent from a central fund and CPES funds. The expenditures for 2014 are 4,133 million UAH (in 2013 - 5.0 million UAH). Repairs carried out on 350 thousand UAH. Compared with 2013 it is shortened the consumption: thermal energy by 23.3%, electricity - by 6.1%, cold water - by 12.31%.
Rehabilitation and recreation of students and staff. Recreations "Mayak", "Polytechnic", "Sosnoviy", "Globus" were prepared for the season in time. There were improved their health during the summer 1809 people, including 612 employees and 1,197 undergraduate and graduate students.
The main objectives for 2015. The next year, work will continue on the planned repair and modernization of buildings, improving their energy efficiency and performance properties. To do this, the plan is: shifting cable networks, switchboards overhaul, replacement of transformer; external plumbing repair networks in residential buildings, educational buildings and STL; overhaul of heat substations, roof repair in educational buildings and dormitories, repair classrooms and others.
In conclusion I would like to thank the staff of the Department and other departments of the university for the constructive work on the content of the property complex of the university in an appropriate operational and technical condition.
