The importance and necessity of energy-saving has been discussed in Iran for many years. However, finding a clear logical solution is still one of the challenges and concerns of Iranʹs economy. Rapid increase in energy consumption during the last two decades has endangered national energy security. Energy-saving has numerous advantages for the economy. It reduces costs and has other advantages as well. Generally speaking, energy consumption during last two decades has been affected by factors such as economic growth, population growth and urbanization, relatively low price of energy, development of energy-intensive industries, rapid growth of the transportation fleet and non-compliance with energy-saving regulations in construction. According to the programs presented in the five-year socio-economic development plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran, one of the priorities of the government is to assure the energy needs of industrial projects. Regarding rapid growth in energy consumption, policy makers and legislators need to manage supply and demand in order to ensure the countryʹs energy security. Otherwise, there would be major problems threatening the country. In different countries, there are laws and regulations to control energy consumption in different sectors of economy or the entire economy through applying energy-saving measures. There are standards and incentives and punitive measures, defined by law, which oblige manufacturers and users of appliances to save energy, so as to decrease energy flow and control energy consumption levels. Given the high potential of energy-saving in different economic sectors of the country, comprehensive energy-related regulations would result in logical use of energy and increase value added. Hence, through planning and guiding different economic sectors this way, the future need for energy will partly be met through energy savings.
