Economic and environmental analysis of a new intelligent central heating system based on optimizing pollutant emissions

One of the practical methods with the aim of sustainable development is to make boiler rooms smarter. In this study, for the first time, the boiler room of a residential building with an area of 2250 meters located in Tehran was smartened according to the predicted priorities in how to consume energy in the study area based on two indicators of residents' consumption habits and ambient temperature. According to the obtained results, if this plan is implemented, 34972.8 cubic meters of natural gas consumption of the boiler room will be saved annually, and subsequently 93.96 kg of carbon monoxide and 670.9 kg of carbon dioxide will be prevented from being released into the air. Also, the economic savings of the project from the total reduced costs in natural gas consumption, taking into account 22 cents per cubic meter of the country's natural gas export and the cost of preventing the emission of carbon dioxide, which according to the Kyoto agreement is 6 / 3 cents per kilogram is considered. According to the calculations, if the annual plan is implemented, $ 868.95 will be saved in the considered costs.
