Hello, I have started documenting the temperatures inside our house. I have attached a link with a table. What do you think about the data? The temperatures have remained fairly consistent under similar weather conditions. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the data. I have not made any changes since the hydraulic balancing.

The bedroom upstairs should be cooler. Can I simply reduce the flow rate there? Is there anything else I should consider given that we have very short loops (starting from 16 meters (52 feet) :/)?

In the last four days, we have ventilated very little because we have a central ventilation system. As a result, there hasn’t been much change in the values. Should I continue documenting and ventilate more aggressively and variably in the coming days to test how the rooms warm up? The heating curve is currently set to 2 out of 10. Does it need adjustment? Link description

Personally, I find it at least 3°C (37°F) too cold. In the bathroom even 5°C (41°F)...

Yes, it would be too cold for us as well.
If you want it even colder in the bedroom, reduce the flow there.

Family Frost?
I hope this isn’t just a quirk of yours or general frugality, but that your entire family is like that.

I can only say brrrrr about that, but everyone has their own preferences.

And I would bet that the values are not actually that stable and fluctuate constantly. However, this usually only becomes apparent through continuous monitoring. Random measurements rarely show the true picture. Just as a side note.

Hm, we have never noticed any negative issues with the temperatures. It was exactly the same in the previous apartment.

@Mycraft: I took the measurements at the same time of day and in the same spot, using different thermometers (switching thermometers). I can’t get any more precise than that.

Of course, I can increase the flow now. But I want to optimize the heating system settings. Does it make sense to adjust other parameters instead?

@seat88: Don’t tell me you guys have over 20 degrees Celsius (68°F) in the bedroom too. Holy crap.
