10. Saving energy
10.1 Specific steps for saving energy
ENERGY
With only a few simple measures, you can
Save energy on a sustainable basis
Cut energy costs
Protect the environment.
It's easy! Just bear in mind the following tips:
• Set the room temperature and the heating times in-
dependently!
Adapt the heating times and room temperatures ac-
cording to when you will be present and absent (5.10.3
page 45 and 5.8.2 page 32). A temperature reduc-
tion of only 1 °C can save 6% of your energy costs.
• Correct ventilation
Ventilate every three to four hours for a few minutes
with the window full open, preferably with a through
draft. Avoid leaving the windows tilted open when it is
cold outside! Correct heating and ventilation also help
to prevent mildew forming. Ventilation is not necessary
if you are using a domestic ventilation unit.
• Close roller blinds and shutters at night
Keep the roller blinds and shutters on doors and win-
dows closed at night to reduce energy losses.
If necessary, seal gaps and cracks at windows and
doors.
• Do not obstruct radiators
Avoid placing furniture in front of radiators. Also avoid
closing curtains during the day. At night, on the other
hand, they can have an insulating effect.
Furthermore, avoid drying damp laundry directly on the
radiators. The heat generated by the radiators cannot
get into the room in the first place and the hot water is
merely circulated.
• Reduce the room temperature at night
Save energy while you sleep by reducing the room tem-
perature at night. The room should not cool down ex-
cessively, though. This increases the energy required
to reheat it, and pipes could freeze.
• Set the domestic hot water temperature
Set the domestic hot water temperature as low as pos-
sible. Aim for temperatures between 45 °C and 60 °C.
Remember to activate the legionella function once a
week in the week programme (5.11.6 page 57).
• Take a shower rather than a bath
A bath consumes about three times as much energy
and water as a shower.
• Regular maintenance
Have your heating system regularly cleaned and
checked by a specialist. Bleed the radiators if you hear
noises coming from the pipework or if the radiators do
not achieve an even temperature.
11. Waste disposal
11.1 Disposal instructions
After the end of the service life, the individ-
ual system components must be disposed
of correctly. Please contact the heating
specialist regarding recycling your heating
system.
Dismantling must be performed by a heating
specialist.
