Recommendations for treating the air and saving on heating
- With an outside temperature of zero degrees, it takes just 5 minutes to change the air in the house without the risk of cooling the walls;
- Each room must have its own chronothermostat;
- The chronothermostat must have a weekly setting with at least three settable temperature levels, sensitivity of one-tenth of a degree, interval between intervention and reset of six-tenths of a degree and must allow at least hour by hour management and better half-hour by half-hour;
- Avoid setting a difference of more than 3-4 degrees between the minimum and maximum temperature settings (by way of example, see the following dispersive cycle);
- Dehumidify the air, if possible.
Dispersive condensation-evaporation cycle of the humidity in the walls:
1. Comfort temperature 20 °C: warm, humid air
2. Night time temperature or house unoccupied 15 °C: cold, humid air
3. Night time temperature or house unoccupied 15 ° C: the walls cool
4. Temperature rising towards the comfort temperature of 18 °C: warm, humid air and cold walls
5. Temperature rising towards the comfort temperature of 18 °C: humidity condenses in the walls
6. Comfort temperature 20 °C: humidity evaporates from the walls dissipating energy
7. Comfort temperature 20 °C: warm, humid air
Energy is wasted continuously re-evaporating the humidity from the walls
