10 Tips on saving energy
With weather-compensated control, the flow
•
temperature is controlled in accordance with
the set heating curve: The colder the outside
temperature, the higher the flow temperature.
Save energy: Set the heating curve as low as
possible in accordance with the building's
insulation and the system conditions
(
chapter 8.3 from page 56).
Underfloor heating:
•
Do not set the flow temperature higher than
the maximum flow temperature recom-
mended by the manufacturer (e.g. 60 °C).
Make effective use of the temperature levels
•
and switching points by setting them to suit
the preferences of the occupants.
– Comfort
= Comfortable living environ-
ment
– Economy
= Active living environment
– Frost
= Away from home or asleep.
Set the thermostat valves in all rooms so that
•
the required room temperatures can be
achieved. Only increase the temperature lev-
els if the temperature has not reached after
some time (
chapter 6.2.2 on page 38).
Much energy can be saved by reducing the
•
room temperature via economy phases.
Reducing the room temperature by 1 K ( °C)
enables up to 5% energy to be saved.
It is not recommended to let the room temper-
ature of heated rooms fall below +15 °C dur-
ing the daytime, otherwise the cooled-down
walls continue to radiate cold and the room
temperature rises higher, leading to higher
energy consumption than if an even heat sup-
ply is applied.
With well insulated buildings it can be the
•
case that the room temperature remains
above the temperature set for Economy. Nev-
ertheless energy is being saved as the heating
72
system stays off. In this case, you can set the
switching point for Economy.
Don't keep windows slightly open for ventila-
•
tion. This leads to a constant extraction of
heat from the room without noticeably
improving the ambient air in the room.
Vent briefly but intensively (open window
•
fully).
When ventilating, turn off the thermostatic
•
valve or set the mode selector to Frost.
Make effective use of the temperature levels
•
and switching points for the domestic hot
water by setting them to suit the preferences
of the occupants.
Solar optimisation
Activate the Optimizing influence DHW by set-
ting a value between 1 K to 20 K
page 47. If the influence of the Optimizing influ-
ence DHW is too great, reduce the setting a small
amount at a time.
Activate the CH circuit optimizing influence by
setting a value between 1 K to 5 K
on page 47. If the influence of the CH circuit opti-
mizing influence is too great, reduce the setting
a small amount at a time.
