8.1 Energy-saving advice
` Keep the room in which the boiler is installed well ventilated.
` Do not block ventilation outlets.
` Do not cover the radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of the
radiators.
` Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat
losses.
` Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and
lofts).
` Close the 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.
8.2 Room thermostat and settings
The type of thermostat and its setting have a considerable influence
on energy consumption.
A few tips:
`
A modulable 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.
` Completely closing and opening thermostatic valve radiators
causes undesirable temperature fluctuations. Open and close
thermostatic valves in small steps.
` Lower the room thermostat when you air the rooms.
` When setting an hourly programmable thermostat, bear days
when you are absent and holidays in mind.
