An international project "Ecodesign"

The project "Ecodesign" is a project of ecologically conscious development of dwelling & working human space.

The most important elemental part of the project is a integrated realization of measures, aimed to organize the interaction between creators & producers of technologies & equipment in the area of diagnostics & correction of ecological situation from one side & some polytechnical institutes in Russia & Europe from other side.

The project is based on scientific elaborations, created by specialists of Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnical University. And the University itself plays the role of coordinator for the questions of using office & exhibition rooms & attracting specialists for realizing the project.

1. Scientific & practical elaborations on the subject of ecological design;
2. Preparation & conducting the educational course - "Ecodesign" - for students (on the first stage for students of the building engineering faculty of Saint-Petersburg Polytechnical University);
3. Organization & conducting commercial educational courses & seminars on the various question of ecological design;
4. Organization & conducting consulting work on the question of ecodesign;
5. European partnership on the programs of ecodesign;
6. Participation in international exhibitions of ecodesign;
7. Creation the laboratories for carrying out certification of European equipment;
8. Work with distributing nets.

Methods & technologies of ecodesign, used in frame of the project

1. Methods, allowing to realize the diagnostics of a lodgement responding to the called problems;
   
   
   • The diagnostics of the chemical & microbiological state of air;
   • The diagnostics of the chemical & microbiological state of drinking water;
   • The diagnostics of the chemical & microbiological state of used construction materials;
   • The diagnostics of the chemical state of the furniture in apartments;
   • The diagnostics of the electromagnetic & radiation state of a lodgement;
   • The diagnostics of the noise press;
   • The diagnostics of the lighting deprivation.
   
   
2. The cartography of a lodgement, which includes main sources of the most dangerous influence & elaboration of algorithm of correction of unsatisfactory characteristics. This takes into account several points: the possibility of elimination of this or that influence; the impossibility of elimination of influence, connected with constructive peculiarity.
   
3. Realization of measures on elimination or correction negative influence of discovered factors. These works is supposed to be carried out in interaction with native & foreign firms - producers of:
   
   
   • the systems of air-conditioning;
   • the systems of sustenance of optimal humidity;
   • the system of ozonization;
   • the system of filtration & disinfection of water;
   • the elements of "smart home";
   • the preparations & reagents;
   • the microbiological disinfection of lodgements & materials.
   
   The important stages of work, realizing in frames of methods & technologies, are the following:
   
   
   • teaching personnel, working in a lodgment, or people, living in apartments, & also explanation the main principles, contained in diagnostic & correction procedures;
   • monitoring & sustenance of optimal living conditions.
   
   Promotion of the companies on the market is supposed to realize on principles of marketing with help of following technologies:
   
   • informational technologies;
   • branding;
   • franchise;
   • PR with help of public organizations & administrative regions;
   • participation in long-term government programs.
   
   Today the list of partners interested in realizing the introduced project is formed with aim to create on its base Nonprofit Partnership on subject "Ecodesign".
   The coordinator of this question is nonprofit partnership the IMC "IRIS".
