Thermostats

Underfloor convectors

Project

Due to grilles above the underfloor convectors, the radiators in the university building are difficult to regulate manually. The solution: self-learning thermostats from vilisto! They preheat in the morning and lower the temperature fully automatically as soon as no more heat is needed. The thermostats used to be set to level 5 all the time – now they only heat according to demand.

41,3%

Savings

Result

In combination with the efficient concrete core activation, the energy consumption of the convectors of the equipped heating circuit (1st floor/1,623m²) could thus be reduced by 41.3% – despite the existing night setback.

Based on this excellent result and the highly professional cooperation with vilisto, the Goethe University will take the next step to fully equip the building. In the long term, the entire campus will be intelligently heated with the self-learning thermostats.
