Reducing the impact on the environment

Planning and implementation of activities aimed at reducing the impact on the environment are carried out under the following priority hierarchy:

1) Use of prevention methods:
– reduction of resource consumption by means of implementing organizational and technical measures;
– use of alternative sources of energy, transition to the use of other materials, etc.;
– others.

2) Implementation of recycling methods:
–  reuse of waste (paper and some polymer products, etc.);
–  use of thermal energy that currently gets released into the surroundings;
– others.

3) Transfer of waste for disposal:
– paper for paper recycling;
– polymers for recycling;
– others.

4) Transfer of waste / wastewater to specialized organizations for their safe disposal:
– transfer of hazardous waste for neutralization;
– transfer of other waste for their disposal to the landfill.

Our current activity

Efficiency of energy and water usage

Heating in the university is provided by the central heating system.
Water supply is provided by the central water supply system. Wastewater is discharged into the municipal sewage. (Contract № 90220/К from 21.03.2014, Contract № 220/К from 03.03.2014)

The complex target-oriented program “Energy efficient SSU” has been developed and implemented.
The program is aimed at the university staff work system organization in terms of energy usage and its aim is to minimize the consumption of energy resources while still providing the necessary and comfortable learning and work environment in the university.

A system of online monitoring of thermal energy and water consumption has been developed and implemented.

Measures of energy efficient setting of computer equipment and organizational measures aimed at limiting the time of usage of multimedia equipment in order to reduce energy consumption are implemented as implied by Order №35-І from 22.01.2013. 

With the aim of increasing the control over the work of heating and water supply systems, a schedule of duties of sanitary technicians during the heating season is set.  (Order № 827-І from 14.10.2014).

Waste management

With the aim of paper use reduction, part of the documents has been transferred for electronic circulation (Order №474-І from 06.06.2011 «On the informational service «template of an electronic document»).

Procedures of organization of depositing valuable waste for disposal have been established to increase the utilization rates. Procedures of awarding employees who take part in depositing waste for disposal have also been set. (Order №611-І from 25.07.2011).

Hazardous waste is transferred under the contract to a specialized organization for their further utilization (Contract №937 from 31.03.2014).

IV hazard degree waste from the university’s current activity is transported along with solid waste by a specialized organization (Contract №2/124 from 01.04.2014) and disposed to a solid waste landfill (Contract №73 from 28.01.2014).
