8.1.1.
Energy-saving advice
4 Keep the room in which the boiler is installed well ventilated. Do
not block ventilation outlets. 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.

Room thermostat and settings
The room thermostat is available in the following versions:
4 2-wire ON/OFF thermostat
4 Modulating thermostat
4 Programmable room temperature thermostat
The type of thermostat and its settings have a considerable influence
on energy consumption.
A few tips:
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.
4 Completely closing and opening thermostatic valve radiators
causes undesirable temperature fluctuations. Open and close
thermostatic valves in small steps.
4 Lower the thermostat to around 20°C. This reduces heating costs
and energy consumption.
4 Lower the room thermostat when you air the rooms.
