A meeting was
held to discuss this joint cooperation, attended by Ali Rabbani, NPC’s Director
of Energy Optimization, and Mohammad Saber Baghkhahpour, Director General of
Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development of Tehran Municipality.
Key objectives
highlighted included fostering a culture of optimal energy consumption among
employees and citizens, aiming for a 10-20% reduction in energy use within
urban buildings and infrastructure, and improving the efficiency of heating
systems while decreasing pollutant emissions from combustion.
As part of the
agreement, a joint committee will be formed to plan and coordinate cost-saving
initiatives. There will also be an exchange of knowledge and experiences, along
with the organization of public training courses utilizing neighborhood centers
to engage the community.
The initiative
will also involve the creation and dissemination of educational content, and
the use of urban information channels to promote energy-saving practices and
encourage greater public participation in the “Energy Pulse” campaign.
Furthermore,
technical visits will be conducted to identify and provide corrective solutions
for high-consumption boilers. A plan is in place to adjust the burners of 500
selected boilers in municipal buildings free of charge. Following technical
assessments, 200 boilers will undergo comprehensive optimization with the
support of specialized service providers.
The Tehran
Municipality will contribute to the implementation of these saving plans by
creating the necessary executive infrastructure and allocating suitable spaces
for training and public awareness activities. Both parties emphasized the use
of urban advertising and cultural activities to spread the culture of energy
management among families and citizens.
The participation
of the families of Tehran Municipality employees in the “Energy Pulse” campaign
was also stressed. By joining this campaign, families will contribute to
reducing energy waste and will also be eligible to win significant prizes
offered as part of the initiative.
