The 25th International Electricity and Renewable Energy Exhibition in Tehran brought together innovators, policymakers, and energy companies to showcase the latest advancements in efficiency and clean-energy technologies. The event highlighted a clear market shift toward smart systems—such as real-time consumption monitoring, automated load control, and renewable-integrated solutions—that aim to reduce energy waste in residential and commercial spaces. These technologies directly mirror the core mission behind Greenzist’s Building Optimization (GBO) program, which focuses on upgrading older, inefficient homes through practical, measurable improvements. In addition to the technology exhibits, the exhibition hosted several expert panels discussing investment trends, private-sector opportunities, and the financial tools needed to support energy-efficiency projects. Topics such as decentralized energy, storage solutions, and the role of consumers in reducing national demand received significant attention. These conversations reinforced the global trend toward empowering individuals and communities to participate actively in the transition to cleaner, more resilient energy systems—an approach that sits at the heart of Greenzist’s community-driven model. Workshops and educational sessions further emphasized the importance of innovation, standardization, and workforce development in the energy sector. Young researchers, students, and entrepreneurs were notably active, signaling a growing cultural shift toward sustainability. Overall, the exhibition offered valuable insights that strengthen Greenzist’s strategic direction: combining public engagement, practical retrofits, and accessible education to help households reduce energy consumption and contribute to a more sustainable future.
