International Energy Saving Day
On November 11, the International Day of Energy Saving was celebrated on the basis of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University. This is an opportunity to remind humanity about the rational and frugal use of resources and energy, reducing the level of impact on the environment and increasing the chances of preserving the planet for future generations.
During the welcome meeting, Viktor Greshta, rector of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, together with Ella Slepyan, deputy mayor for executive bodies of the Zaporizhzhia City Council, discussed energy-saving initiatives of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic and local projects in which our students participate.
A master class on renewable energy sources «Green Gigawatt» was held for schoolchildren of the Energodar city territorial community as part of the «UPSHIFT» program in the Zaporizhzhia region with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the government of Japan.
A thematic event within the STEM project «Smart House» (SMART-house) was held in the educational hub of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University. The children of the Dniprorudna urban territorial community tried for the first time to independently manage the engineering systems of the house, learned how to conduct an energy audit and calculate the economic effect of energy saving, as well as developed simple automation algorithms and wrote programs for SMART systems, determined the feasibility of using alternative energy sources.
Thank you to our youngest guests for their active participation! We work together — we develop together!
