    Małgorzata Rymarzak 35 Uniwersytet Gdański Wydział Zarządzania Katedra Inwestycji i Nieruchomości e ‑mail: [email protected] 2016, Vol. 15, No. 2016, Vol. Uwarunkowania zarządzania nieruchomościami publicznych uniwersytetów na przykładzie wybranych krajów UE DOI: 10.17399/HW.2016.1535012 STRESZCZENIE CEL NAUKOWY: Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań nad uwarunkowaniami za‑ rządzania nieruchomościami publicznych uniwersytetów. Ich celem była próba przedstawienia różnych rozwiązań przyjętych w wybranych krajach UE odnoś‑ nie do tytułów prawnych przysługujących uczelniom do nieruchomości, a także form zarządzania nimi. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Do prowadzonych rozważań wykorzy‑ stano literaturę przedmiotu, niepublikowane raporty komercyjnych firm oraz in‑ formacje zawarte na stronach internetowych poszczególnych zarządców nieru‑ chomości uczelnianych. PROCES WYWODU: Analizie poddano systemy „nieruchomościowe” szkol‑ nictwa wyższego przyjęte w Austrii, Niemczech, Holandii, Wielkiej Brytanii, Szwe‑ cji oraz Polsce. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Wyniki badań wskazują, iż władze uniwer‑ sytetów publicznych w Europie nie ponoszą takiej samej odpowiedzialności za majątek, którym dysponują. Poszczególne państwa przyjęły własne rozwiązania zarówno w zakresie struktury własnościowej nieruchomości, zasad zarządzania, jak i wynajmu nieruchomości. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Niezależnie od wielu różnic wy‑ stępujących w systemach akademickich państw europejskich można się poku‑ sić o wymienienie pewnych wspólnych cech. Austriackie, szwedzkie i niemieckie szkoły wyższe nie są właścicielami nieruchomości uczelnianych. Dostarczaniem odpowiedniej dla nich powierzchni na zasadach najmu, a także zarządzaniem majątkiem zajmują się specjalnie powołane do tego celu spółki. Z kolei w Holan‑ dii, Hiszpanii, Wielkiej Brytanii oraz Polsce uczelnie posiadają różne tytuły praw‑ ne do nieruchomości i zarządzają posiadanymi zasobami. → SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: szkolnictwo wyższe, majątek, struktura własności S u g e r o w a n e c y t o w a n i e: Rymarzak, M.

  • The USE-IT Project Journal #1
    December 2017 Author: Zeno Winkels UIA Expert The FED Project Journal N°1 Project led by the City of Gothenburg The FED project With this project, the city of Gothenburg aims to develop, demonstrate and replicate a novel district level energy system, integrating electric power, as well as heating and cooling. This solution embraces and enhances the use of technologies such as PVs, heat-pumps and wind into a larger system. To overcome the main challenges, the proposed solution contains advancements in system development and operation, business logistics, legal framework as well as stakeholders’ acceptance. The FED solutions consists of three cornerstones: FED demonstrator area – The selected demonstration is located at a campus with about 15 000 end-users. It has a well-balanced set of property owners, energy infrastructure, and users, including prosumers as well as buildings with different needs and usage profiles. The area is exempted from the law of concession for electricity distribution, providing the opportunity to test and validate a local energy market. The prerequisites to optimize the use of primary and secondary energy using intermediate storage are well developed, as they are for generation, storage and distribution. FED System solution – Our solution will optimise the use of low-grade energy to replace primary energy. Adding fossil-free energy sources while optimising different buildings usage profiles; one building’s energy needs will be balanced with the surplus of another. Intermediate storage, fundamental to be a success, consists of heating/cooling storage in the building’s structure, accumulation tanks or geothermal heat pumps, and batteries for electricity.
