Community Development Support Program in the Russian Federation Based on Information and Communication Technologies (CDSP-ICT) 2011-2014
Project #3
Green Power Engineering at Terneiles
Requested amount $11 000
Grantee and other contributions $7 600
Total cost $18 600
Plastun is the largest settlement in Terneisky Raion, the most northern and largest in Primorsky Krai.
Community problems addressed by the Project:
Lack of information about the practical utilization of energy-efficiency technologies. Terneiles, an open joint-stock company, has been using such technologies for over 30 years. The company’s central boiler plant that burns wood waste provides heating for local residential and industrial buildings. In 2009, it installed a US made boiler plant that not only heats the wood veneer factory, but also has a substantial reserve for heating the settlement and generating electricity for the company.
Project summary:
Grant funds were used for opening an Energy-Efficiency Technologies Museum in the middle school of Ternei settlement. A a virtual museum Terneiles Energy-Efficiency Technologies was created on the websites of the Charitable Fund for Northern Primorye Development and the local school; and a conference on this subject was held for local high school students. Six articles about project activities were printed in the raion newspaper Vestnik Terneya and the public newspaper Plastunsky Vestnik. High school students were trained to use a new computer program Microsoft Office Visio. Their drawings prepared with the use of this program served as the basis for setting up the school museum. During the preparation of the museum, old luminescent lams were replaced with energy-efficient ones. This work was joined by students from the Experiment Study Group who assembled 10 such lamps using a prototype. As a result, schoolchildren have acquired useful practical skills and the future museum was provided with new lamps. In the process of acquiring new ICT knowledge, project participants created 11 versions of the Energy-Efficiency Booklet. The best works were submitted for an international contest. The project made it possible to involve youth in learning new ICT and increase awareness of the broad public about modern energy-saving technologies. It also promotes the dissemination of successful experience of non-waste production; advertises new vocations; and promotes the development of technical creativity in students.
Project results:
- A real museum with a scale model of Terneiles industrial facilities demonstrating energy-efficiency technologies used by this company was created by local schoolchildren.
- The building of the museum itself serves as an example of energy-efficiency in residential and non-residential buildings – it has new windows that prevent heat loss, energy-saving lamps and new hot water heating radiators that save heat.
- Not only schoolchildren took part in the project, but volunteers from local business firms as well.
- Increased awareness of Plastun community about energy saving in residential and industrial buildings.
