Recently, in KPI social media spread information about large-scale project campus Student Council (CPC), aimed at improving living conditions on campus KPI. We like its residents, this project, of course, interested and we wanted to know more about its implementation. So we decided to talk directly with the head of Vladislav Lotkinym CPC. He gladly told about the purpose of the project and plans to improve campus.

- What is the idea to change the bulbs on campus?

- The idea is to minimize the energy consumption in our territory. But light bulbs - just a small piece of the whole project. SmartCityKPI essence of the concept is to maximize savings and create maximum comfort for KPI students. The first phase also includes the installation of motion sensors and LED lamps in public places (kitchen units), which will use economically  energy. For example, at night in the absence of people in the kitchen light is automatically turned off. Also provides coverage of campus and free wireless internet.

The project will be implemented in three stages:

The first relates to the change of lighting units, installing Wi-Fi access points and resettlement bins for separate waste collection.

The second - this installation of water filtration, change communications networks in hostels.

The third - installation of energy and monitoring energy use in dormitories.

- All this has something to do with environmental friendliness and promotion of the environmental movement? If so, there are ideas to improve the environment on campus?

- We are with the team and the campus student council team KPIeco solve environmental problems also believe one of the main goals of our projects. Therefore, all materials used are environmentally friendly and recyclable. As I said, the overall project will cover the whole territory of the campus to ensure maximum comfort accommodation. Generally, ideas for further improvements in campus arise when we implement in the next stage of life, or when students turn to the problem.

Now we can say only one thing: SmartCityKPI is project will significantly improve the lives of ordinary KPI students. This is not some entertaining project will see improvements every student, and the most important thing. How and when will the project clearly not yet possible to say, but the first stage we plan to complete during the year.

- What will be the first hostels in improving?

- Let's start with the 9th hostel. Next 11th, 7th and 13th. "Books" will be later, because they are the largest and require significant funding.

- By what means carried purchase of materials?

- Funds from sponsors and attract investors. Now working with the UK "prince" and Privatbank.

- Thank you for such an informative conversation. Good luck!

So, as we see in the near future in hostels conduct large-scale reform, the outcome of which in itself feel every student!
