What is outside temperature dependent?
Depending on the current outside temperature, the supply temperature is determined when heating is required. When it is warmer outside, you can still heat comfortably and more efficiently with a lower supply temperature.
What is truly weather dependent?
Traditionally, with a weather-dependent control, the boiler is always on, with the temperature depending on the outside temperature. With truly weather dependent, the boiler is not continuously on and the regulation is much smarter. Multiple weather influences such as the outside temperature, wind and sun are used. This involves looking at the weather forecast for the next 48 hours. In that case, for example, less heat is heated in time so that. This way it doesn’t get too hot and you save energy.
What is dynamic preheating?
Depending on the weather, temperature, heating behavior per zone and the influence of zones on each other, preheating is done on time to get the right temperature at the schedule point.
*Not all influences may be included.
