Energy saving tips
Economy heating
Set the desired room temperatures for the
•
three "temperature levels" to you personal
temperature preference and set the heating
program to suit your personal lifestyle.
– Comfort
= Comfortable living
environment
– Economy
= Active living environment
– Frost
= Away from home or asleep.
Set the thermostats in all rooms so that the
•
desired room temperature can also be
reached. Only increase the temperature levels
if the temperature has not been reached after
some time.
If the controls are in your apartment, they can
•
also be used to record the room temperature
to optimize the control precision with an
appropriate setting. Avoid the influence of
external heat on the room, e.g. through solar
radiation, fireplace etc. Otherwise there may
be undesired fluctuations in the room
temperature.
If you lower the room temperature by 2 °F
•
(1 °C), you save up to 5 % energy.
However, it does not make sense to let the
room temperature in rooms heated daily sink
below +60 °F (+15 °C). This way, the walls
cool off too much. In the heat-up phase, the
room climate is disturbed by the cold walls,
which continue to emit cold. If you further
increase the room temperature, more energy
is used than with the same amount of heat
supply.
With good heat insulation of your building, it is
•
possible that after a heating phase, the
desired room temperature for Economy
will not be reached. Nevertheless energy is
being saved as the heating system stays off.
You save still more energy if you set the switch
point for Economy
earlier.
Venting
Open the windows all the way for a short time
instead of just tipping them open. With open
windows, heat is constantly drawn out of the
room without really improving the room air.
When airing out the room, turn off the
thermostats on the boilers or turn the operating
mode selector on the controls to the Frost
position.
DHW
Set the DHW program to your individual hot
water needs.
This way, you will save a lot of energy without
compromising the DHW convenience.
Solar optimization
The controls have a "solar optimization" function.
For more information, please see the detailed
installation and operating instructions for the
controls.
