Kpi on the Way of Forming an Energy-Efficient Society. 25 Years of Experience

Abstract

Given the energy dependence of our state, the rational use of resource potential is a strategic direction for the development of the Ukrainian economy. Increasing energy efficiency is an important condition for the successful implementation of climate policy. The modern market of energy efficient services requires a significant number of trained specialists in the field of energy audit, energy management, energy consumption management, energy efficiency certification, heat and electrical engineering, process automation in industry and housing and communal services. In 2021, the Educational and Scientific Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management (NN IEE) Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Igor Sikorsky, since 1997 heir to the Faculty of Mining (GF), the Faculty of Mining Electromechanics and Automation (FGEMA), the Faculty of Mining Technology (GTF), celebrated 75 years since its founding. And already in the current 2022, we have another significant and pleasant event – 25 years of the creation of the specialty «Energy Management». By a joint order of the Ministry of Education and the State Committee for Energy Saving of Ukraine (No. 137/45 dated May 07, 1997), IEE was defined as the basis for training specialists in this specialty. The article reflects the main stages of the formation and development of the institute, scientific achievements, the contribution of the team to the training and advanced training of personnel and educational activities in the field of energy efficiency. NN IEE, as the founder of the «Energy Management» specialty, has gone through a long path of formation and development. ІЕЕ prepares students according to the educational programs «Energy Management and Energy-Efficient Technologies», «Systems of Supplying Consumers with Electric Energy».

Review of the Regulatory Framework in the Field of Energy Innovation Transfer

“…The role of educational institutions in preparing highly qualified specialists and developing scientific research in the energy sector cannot be underestimated, especially in the context of creating an energy-efficient society through integrating educational programs, scientific research, and international cooperation. The study by Denysiuk and Shovkalyuk (2023) demonstrates how Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute has contributed to the formation of an energy-efficient society over the past 25 years through the integration of educational programs, scientific research, and international cooperation [4].…”
