Energy-saving tips
Room temperature during the day
Set the room temperature only as high as would be enough
for your comfort level. Each extra degree Celsius would
mean an increased energy consumption of about 6%.
Adjust the room temperature according to the purpose of
use of the room, using the thermostatic radiator valve. For
example, it is not necessary to heat bedrooms or seldom
used rooms to 20 °C.
Desired temperature during the night
If you do not need a high room temperature, e.g. during the
night or if you are away from home, then reduce the room
temperature.
Use the "Time programmes" function to define times during
which you do not need a high room temperature. The peri-
ods for heating are active in "Automatic mode".
If you are absent for longer periods of time, e.g. on holiday,
then it is worth lowering the temperature even further. To
do this, set the temperature using the "Days away from
home scheduling" function.
Uniform heating
Often, in a dwelling with central heating, only one room is
heated. Through the surrounding surfaces of this room, i.e.
walls, doors, windows, roofs, floors, the unheated adjoining

Energy-saving tips
rooms are also heated in an unregulated manner, i.e.
unwanted heat energy is lost. The capacity of the radiator
of this one heated room is obviously not enough for such
an operating mode. The result is that the room can no
longer be heated adequately and there is an uncomfortable
feeling of cold. The same effect arises when doors between
heated and unheated / barely heated rooms are left open.
This is false economy: The heating is in operation and still
the room temperature is not comfortably warm.
If you heat all rooms evenly and according to their use,
then you will achieve a comfortable room climate and
energy-saving operation.
Thermostatic radiator valves
Thermostatic radiator valves on the radiators maintain the
room temperature exactly once set.
Exception: The thermostatic radiator valves on the radiators
in the room in which the room thermostat is mounted, must
be turned fully open. The radiators are then controlled by
the controller and thus maintain the set room temperature.
You can adjust the room temperature to suit your individual
requirements and ensure economical operation of your
heating system using the thermostatic radiator valves in
combination with a room temperature-compensated con-
troller.
