Tips on saving energy:
Do not cover radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of
radiators.
Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat
losses.
Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and
lofts).
Install loft insulation & double glazing.
Use draught excluders where necessary.
Upgrade any older external controls.
Turn down room thermostats by 1°C
Turn off radiators in rooms not in use.
Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.
Fit a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 % energy.
Take showers rather than baths. A bath consumes twice as
much water and energy.
Various models of room thermostats are available. The
thermostat type and setting affect the total energy consumption.
A few tips:
Fully opening or closing thermostatic radiator valves result
in unwanted temperature fluctuations. Turn the thermostat knob
or valve higher or lower in small steps.
Lower the thermostat to approximately 20°C. This reduces
heating costs and energy consumption.
When rooms are to be aired, lower the thermostat well in
advance.
When setting thermostats or programmers take account of
days when nobody will be in and of holidays.
