THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ECOENERGY ACADEMY

Fegan Ganbar oglu Aliyev - doctor of technical sciences, professor of Azerbaijan Civil Engineering University, founder and president of the first non-governmental association in the Republic- Scientific-Manufacturing Association "Gunesh" (1990), founder and president of the International Ecoenergy Academy (1994).

He had a secondary education, graduated from the Faculty of Hydrotechnical Facilities of the Baku Polytechnic, then graduated from the Civil-Engineering Faculty of the Azerbaijan Polytechnic Institute. He was a post-graduate student of the All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Construction Physics in Moscow. He defended his master's and doctor's theses dedicated to the problems of modern town-planning, optimisation and control of engineering facilities using automation and application software accounting for climatic factors and local terrain, in the Moscow Institute of Construction Physics. In 1981 F. Aliyev graduated USSR Academy of National Economy with honors degree on the work "Optimisation of energy saving in a large Sport Complex in Baku city through automated management and controlling using computer systems".

F. G. Aliyev is a well-known scientist who has contributed his original ideas to the science of construction. He is academician of Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences.

He developed a scientific basis of an automated system for controlling the microclimate in large building complexes and the largest in the Caucasus and Middle Asia building (in Baku) having diameter 120 meters and accommodating two ice-skating rinks is equipped with such system. This design was adopted for implementation in Finland and Egypt.

F. Aliyev is an author of theoretic principles of solar collectors, thermal pumps and convection heat-exchangers adapted to the local conditions, and these principles were realised in practice. His recommendations as to the usage of the solar energy have been diligently used for preparation of the master plan for the Republic residential, recreational and sport complexes. Among them are Sport Palace in Baku, Indoors Track and Field Arena, Cycle Track, swimming pools, tennis courts, stadiums, Medical Rehabilitation Centre, firing range.

F. G. Aliyev participated in research and experimental work associated with the residential and recreation complex on the Absheron Peninsula.

The results of his works were presented on the International Congresses, symposiums and conferences. He was an organiser and chairman of all five International Forums "Energy, Ecology, Economy". He is a writer and editor-in-chief of the ten-volume proceedings of these International Forums. He is also an editor-in-chief and founder of popular-science journal "Energy, Ecology, Economy" and "Respublikachy" newspaper. F. Aliyev was a project manager and one of the authors of the following projects: "Basic Concepts of Programme of Energy Development in Azerbaijan up to 2010", "Testing Construction Materials for Radioactivity" and one of the authors of the law "On Protection of Foreign Investments in Azerbaijan". He is one of the founders of the Caspian Environmental Laboratory and the founder of the Republic Radon Centre.
