Advice on setting the room thermostat correctly
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.
8.1.2. 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.
