The Gas Company of Alborz Province is seeking to reduce gas consumption in the province by implementing a boiler optimization plan. Nasser Hosseini, the CEO of the company, explained this plan, stating that this action can reduce gas consumption by 15 to 20 percent, and so far, more than 600 boiler rooms in the province have been optimized.
The Necessity of Optimizing Boiler Rooms
Hosseini emphasized the need to reform consumption habits and increase public awareness, pointing to problems caused by high energy consumption, inefficient equipment, and poor insulation of buildings. He mentioned setting the ambient temperature between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius and preventing heat loss as simple and cost-effective solutions for reducing consumption. Adhering to these points in every household can lead to significant savings on a national scale and reduce some of the pressure on the gas network.
Replacing Old Equipment
The CEO of the Gas Company of Alborz Province also referred to replacing old heaters with high-efficiency equipment, stating that the efficiency of some old heaters is about 30 percent, while this amount in new heaters exceeds 85 percent. The implementation of this plan is particularly underway in the cold regions of the province, including Taleqan, Asara, and the villages along the Chalus road.
Hosseini also mentioned the activities of energy service companies in the residential and industrial sectors, stating that these companies help reduce gas consumption by identifying savings opportunities and providing technical and corrective solutions. The development of this approach not only reduces the costs for consumers but also increases energy consumption efficiency in various sectors.
Consumption Management and Safety
The CEO of the Gas Company of Alborz Province emphasized the importance of safety during the cold months of the year, stating that consumers must ensure that flue paths are clear and equipment is safe before operating heating devices. Regular servicing of heaters and packages should also be taken seriously, as preventing accidents caused by unsafe gas use, alongside consumption management, is of particular importance.
Hosseini further mentioned the role of social media and academics in promoting optimal and safe gas consumption, stating that producing creative and shareable content can effectively convey educational messages and transform consumption management recommendations into daily behaviors. According to him, young people can play a role in designing and promoting cultural and educational campaigns related to optimal gas consumption by utilizing digital tools.
In conclusion, the CEO of the Gas Company of Alborz Province emphasized that it is expected that media, social media activists, academics, and the younger generation will synergize their capacities to continuously keep the safety points of using gas appliances in the spotlight of society, so that raising awareness about correct and safe gas consumption helps preserve national resources.
