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
(
Æ
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 (

•
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
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
Æ
chapter 6.5 on
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
Æ
chapter 6.5
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.
