Energy Saving Measures at Social Sphere Facilities in Koryazhma, the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia Energy Saving Measures at Social Sphere Facilities in Koryazhma, the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia Koryazhma Municipality implemented energy saving measures in municipal buildings with co- financing from NEFCO. The calculated savings will allow repaying the investments within 2,3 years. Short site description. The town of Koryazhma is located in the southeast part of the Arkhangelsk Region, 40 km east of Kotlas. The population is 44 300 people. The average annual, outdoor temperature is +1,4.°С, the average temperature of the coldest month is -4.6 °С. The duration of the heating season is from September 15 till May 15. Heat supply to 325 housing and public facilities (782.500.m²) is provided from the CHP (combined heat Bathhouse Old temperature regulator and power station). Most of the facilities did not have individual energy meters. The hydraulic and temperature modes of the heating system were not adjusted, leading to waste of heat and providing low quality heating and hot water supply to the buildings located far from the CHP. Heating and domestic hot water for the existing city bathhouse is supplied with hot water from the CHP of Kotlas Pulp and Paper Mill, and steam from a separate boiler-house running on natural gas. All other consumers, except the bathhouse, had been disconnected from this boiler-house. This resulted in very inefficient operation, high heat losses, high consumption of expensive fuel and considerable expenses for operation. Objectives and tasks of the project. The project envisaged implementation of energy saving measures in public buildings and residential houses: providing designed hydraulic and temperature modes in the heat supply system, installation of heat and water meters allowing it to pay bills according to actual consumption, reconstruction of the bathhouse and closedown of the gas boiler. This would reduce energy costs and improve the environment by reduced emissions. Business plan. By the request of Koruazhma Municipality, in 2005 the Archangelsk Oblast Energy Efficiency Centre (AOEEC) developed a Business Plan for the project to apply for external financing. To provide design hydraulic and temperature modes in the heat supply system and to each facility, it was envisaged to install 700 throttling orifices on pipes out from the main networks and 350 thermo regulators on the hot water supply systems into the buildings. This would ensure better heat distribution to the buildings, improved quality of heat supply and heat savings. Reconstruction of the municipal bathhouse envisaged replacement of local heat sources (boiler- house) by individual, electrical furnaces. It was also planned to replace the windows in the bathhouse and to install heat and water meters. The project also envisaged installation of heat and water meters in Kindergarten № 17. Initially, a total investment of 5 100 000 RUR were budgeted. However, the actual project costs came out to be a bit lower, stimulating implementation of some additional measures: Pay Investments Calculated savings ENCON Measures back № RUR kWh/year RUR/year Years 1 Maintenance of designed heating and hydraulic 3 326 220 rates in the heat supply system. 4 710 150 1 128 000 3,3 2 Installation of the meters in Kindergarten 17 86 280 3 Reconstruction of the bath house. 1 403 200 7 951 920 1 110 060 1,3 Total: 4 815 700 12 662 070 2 238 060 2,2 4 Additional measures (water heater, circulation 956 525 1 163 000 278 480 3,4 pipe and heat insulation) Total: 5 772 225 13 825 070 2 516 540 2,3 Financing. Through the Energy Saving Credit Facility, the Nordic Environment Financial Corporation (NEFCO) is providing loans for municipal energy saving projects in Northwest Russia. A minimum of 10% municipal equity is required. NEFCO provided a 4 590 000 RUR loan with 3% interest and 5 years repayment period. The rest, 1 182 225 RUR, was financed by Koruazhma Municipality. Implementation. The project implementation started in August 2005 and was completed by November 2006 (as most of the works could not be implemented during the heating season). During the implementation period, it was decided to implement additional measures to improve the energy performance of the buildings and to ensure proper hot water supply in the bathhouse: installation of a second water heater and hot water circulating loop with pump, insulation of pipes in the heating substations and external network. Monitoring and results. The Director and users of the bath- Bath house steam room after repair house are very satisfied with the new installations. According to the Municipal Enterprise of Communal Services (MECS), only closing down the boiler house gave 1 670 000 RUR savings during the first heating season, which is 50% higher than expected. MECS experienced the start up of the heat supply in 2006 was quicker and more efficient. The hydraulic and temperature modes have been optimised, resulting in much less complains from the city inhabitants. MECS shall continue monitoring of the results until the loan is repaid to NEFCO. Conclusions and lesson learned. The project was Closed down boiler house successfully completed even though the local Administration had no previous experience of such projects, neither in cooperation with international financial institutions. It was demonstrated that such projects should be thoroughly developed and calculated in order to avoid changes during the implementation period. The energy saving measures can easily be replicated in many other municipalities having similar type of problems with heat supply.

Lomonosov, 163002, Severnaya Dvina Emb., 17, Arkhangelsk, Russia 2 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 26, Yaroslavskoeshosse, 129337, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified.

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BALTIC REGION TRENDS IN POPULATION CHANGE AND THE SUSTAINABLE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA A. A. Anokhin K. D. Shelest M. A. Tikhonova Saint Petersburg State University Received 21 November 2018 7—9 Universitetskaya emb., Saint Petersburg, Russia, 199034 doi: 10.5922/2079-8555-2019-4-3 © Anokhin A. A., Shelest K. D., Tikhonova M. A., 2019 The Northwestern Federal District is a Russian macro-region that is a unique example of a model region. It accounts for 10 % of the country’s total area and 9.5 % of its population. This article aims to trace the patterns of city distribution across the region, to assess the conditions of differently populated cities and towns, and to identify sustainability trends in their socio-economic development. Population change is a reliable indicator of the competitiveness of a city. As a rule, a growing city performs well economically and has a favourable investment climate and high-paid jobs. The analysis revealed that population change occurred at different rates across the federal district in 2002—2017. A result of uneven socio-economic development, this irregularity became more serious as globalisation and open market advanced. The study links the causes and features of growth-related differences to the administrative status, location, and economic specialisation of northwestern cities. The migration behaviour of the population and the geoeconomic position are shown to be the main indicators of the sustainable development of a city. Keywords: cities, urban population, Northwestern Federal District, city classification, population, city sustainability Introduction When studying the urban population distribution and its dynamics over the past decades, it is necessary to take into account the territorial heterogeneity of To cite this article: Anokhin, A.

  • Drinking Water Quality and Health State of Population in the Arkhangelsk Oblast
    Drinking water quality and health state of population in the Arkhangelsk Oblast Northern State Medical University, Arkhangelsk; Rospotrebnadzor Directorate in the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Arkhangelsk; Bobun I.I., Buzinov R.V., Unguryanu T.N., Gudkov A.B. Today chemical and biological contamination of drinking water from surface sources takes one of the leading places among the factors causing health problems among population. This happens due to steady growth of water consumption, qualitative changes in water sources, which suffer from practically uncontrolled anthropogenic impact, and also because the existing water treatment methods are inappropriate in fighting against the strongest representatives of virus micro flora. Traditional practice for water treatment does not guarantee its high quality and absolute safety for people’s health any more. It is a well-known fact that the influence of water resources on the health and life conditions of people is determined by availability of sufficient and safe household and drinking water supply, sanitary arrangement of inhabited settlements, as well as by the climatic conditions in the region. One of the most unfavorable areas in Russia in terms of supplying good quality drinking water to population is the Arkhangelsk Oblast. Here the parameters of chemical and biological contamination of drinking water in the water supply network 2.5 times exceed the average Russian figures. (According to Rospotrebnadzor in the Arkhangelsk Oblast in 2009 in the Arkhangelsk Oblast the number of drinking water samples which did not meet the existing hygienic norms for sanitary and chemical parameters was 42.2 %, for microbiological parameters – 10.1 %). The main reason for unsatisfactory quality of drinking water in the cities of the Arkhangelsk Oblast is still high percentage (70–90%) of equipment depreciation and disrepair of water supply networks, thus causing frequents breakdowns.

Assessment of the regions’ socio-economic development levels (in the case of the Komi Republic, the Arkhangelsk and Vologda oblasts) * The author made an attempt to enhance the reliability of indicators that reflect the regions’ develop- ment levels and their analysis linkage with actual problems of socio-economic policy and spatial integration. In order to increase the objectivity of assessing the level of the regions’ socio-economic development it is proposed to use indicator of value added per person employed taking into account the regional economy. The level of social development, according to the author, most aptly reflects the ratio of per capita income with the subsistence minimum. This, ultimately, will determine the vector of regional policy in the direction of social justice and sustainable development.
