Hello,
the first four months of "living" in our new home are over. We are very happy to have chosen a ventilation system (Zehnder 450). Our house has a living area of 240 m² (2,583 sq ft) and is heated with gas (Buderus Logamax plus), and there is a solar thermal system for hot water. Additionally, we have a tiled stove in the living room.
I turned on the heating exactly four weeks ago and have been tracking the gas consumption. During this time, 125 m³ (4,413 cu ft) of gas was used. October was rather warm. The rooms tend to be too warm (23°C / 73°F), even though the thermostats for the underfloor heating are all set to the lowest setting (level 1).
The desire to make it "cozy" with the tiled stove just doesn’t arise.
What could be going wrong here?
Best regards,
Barossi

That doesn’t seem very logical to me. If I adjust everything so that I just reach the desired temperature at the highest setting, what do I do if it’s 20 degrees colder outside?The heating system is controlled by the outdoor sensor along a temperature curve (this heating curve is currently being determined). When the outdoor temperature drops, the heating system increases the flow temperature of the underfloor heating.

The idea behind this is to always operate with the lowest possible supply temperature, which can save costs with certain heating technologies.

If I set the heating curve so that the temperature reaches 20°C (68°F) when the thermostats are fully turned up, can I only increase the room temperature further by adjusting the heating curve?
Doesn’t that mean I first lower the heating curve so that a maximum of 20°C (68°F) is reached, and then raise the heating curve slightly again so the thermostat has some room to adjust upwards? Otherwise, I wouldn’t need thermostats at all and would just go into the utility room to control the temperature.
For example, in our bathroom, the temperature is around 23 to 24°C (73 to 75°F), while in the other rooms it ranges from 21 to 15°C (70 to 59°F), and yes, these temperatures hold when the doors are closed.
How much percentage can you save by adjusting the settings this way?
