Nasser Hosseini, speaking to reporters about teaching proper energy consumption at school age, stated: A correct energy consumption model provides an opportunity to form habits that can continue in the coming years. A student who learns about the importance of adjusting the temperature of heating devices, preventing energy waste, and using gas correctly can apply this awareness at home and encourage family members to adhere to the consumption model. School is not just a place for teaching academic concepts; it can also be the starting point for changing daily behaviors in society.
Implementation of the 'Gas Helper' Program in Schools
The CEO of the Gas Company of Alborz Province, in response to a question from a Pana student reporter regarding the implementation of the 'Gas Helper' program in Alborz schools, stated: To promote awareness in the field of energy consumption, we need to have a more serious presence in schools. Just as the implementation of the police helper program, with the participation of students, was effective in reducing traffic violations and fatalities, students can also play an important role in correcting the consumption behaviors of families.

Hosseini added: The Gas Helper program is being pursued more vigorously, and plans for educating students, distributing promotional packages, and collaborating with and involving companies in schools have been considered. These companies can teach students simple and practical methods to reduce consumption, so that this education can be transferred to the family environment as well.
Education and Optimization of Gas Consumption
The CEO of the Gas Company of Alborz Province, referring to the gas consumption situation in the province, said: Gas supply to Alborz began in 1988, and today all 18 cities and 290 villages in the province benefit from gas. More than 1 million and 76 thousand subscribers in the province use gas supply services, and Alborz is considered one of the green provinces of the country.
Hosseini added: Gas consumption in Alborz will reach over 5 billion and 444 million cubic meters by 2025, with approximately 45 percent used in the residential sector, 35 percent in the power generation sector, and 18 percent in the industrial sector. Additionally, the smartening of boiler houses is also being implemented as a new initiative that can be effective in optimizing energy consumption.
