8.1.1.
Energy-saving advice
4 Do not block ventilation outlets.
4 Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat
losses.
4 Do not cover the radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of the
radiators.
4 Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and lofts).
4 Close the radiators in rooms not in use.
4 Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.
4 Install a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 % energy.
4 Take showers rather than baths. A bath consumes twice as much
water and energy.
8.1.2.
Room thermostat and settings
4 A modulating thermostat, possibly in combination with
thermostatic valve radiators, saves energy and offers
considerable comfort. This combination allows you to set the
temperature on each flow. In the room in which the room
thermostat is installed, do not fit thermostatic valve radiators.
4 Lower the thermostat to approximately 16°C at night or when you
are absent. This reduces heating costs and energy consumption.
4 Lower the room thermostat when you air the rooms.
4 When setting an hourly programmable thermostat, keep in mind
the days you are absent or on vacation.
