Energy saving tips
Heating economically
Set the required room temperatures for the
•
three "Temperature levels" in accordance with
your personal temperature preferences, and
adjust the heating program to suit your
lifestyle.
– Comfort
= Comfortable living
environment
– Economy
= Active living environment
– Frost
= Away from home or asleep
Set the thermostatic radiator valves in all rooms
•
so that the required room temperatures can be
achieved. Raise the "Temperature levels" only if
the required room temperature is not achieved
after a prolonged period.
If the controller is installed in your living space
•
and is hooked up accordingly, it can also
capture the room temperature to optimise the
control accuracy. Prevent any influence from
other sources of heat (e.g. insolation, tiled
stoves etc.). Otherwise undesirable
fluctuations of the room temperature may
result.
If you reduce the room temperature by 1 K
•
(1 °C), you can save up to 5 % energy.
However, allowing the rooms to drop down to
below +15 °C is not recommended. This would
permit the walls to cool down too much. During
the heat-up phase, the ambient climate would
be disturbed by the cool walls that would still
radiate the cold. If you then raised the room
temperature further, more energy would be
spent than with a regular supply of heat.
If your building has good thermal insulation, the
•
required room temperature for Economy
may not be achieved after a heating phase.
However, you would still save energy, as the
heating system remains switched off.
You would save even more energy if you set the
switching time for Economy
Venting
Briefly open the windows fully instead of only a
little. If windows are permanently open a little,
heat is drawn from the room constantly without
noticeably improving the ambient air quality.
During airing, fully close the thermostatic
radiator valves or turn the operating mode
selector on the controller to position Frost
DHW
Set the DHW program to suit your individual DHW
demand.
This saves a lot of energy without impairing the
DHW convenience.
Solar optimisation
The controller is equipped with "Solar
optimisation". For further information, see the
detailed installation and operating instructions of
the controller.
