The heat metering coupled with thermo regulating climate provides significant savings on monthly heating costs
In scenarios heavily urbanized opportunities to pursue and achieve sustainable and technological choices aimed at energy saving are very rare. Anyone who lives in an apartment building knows how difficult it is to reach unanimous approval for the construction of any work, let alone when it comes to renewable energy!
An interesting solution and easily walked there: heat metering coupled with thermo-regulating climate because it guarantees a savings of 10-30% on fuel used for heating in winter and an improvement in the level of comfort.
This type of intervention applicable to condominiums of all sizes and types, allows you to maintain your central heating system, allowing each user to adjust the temperature of the environment and switching times to suit you.
36% of the expenditure is recovered through tax deduction, this percentage may be increased to 55% if the intervention is matched to the installation from scratch or replacement of the boiler with a condensing boiler.
In the event that your condo have to replace an old central boiler, heat metering thermoregulation for each environment becomes the most convenient choice from the economic point of view (as well as legal, as the Legislative Decrees 192/2005 and 311/2006 make this a mandatory option in the event of restructuring of the heating system)
Thanks to Law 10/1991, to carry out the work required of a resolution by a majority condominium simplified (and not unanimity!) Who have jointly installation and adoption throughout the condo of the following services:
thermoregulation. On all the heating elements are installing a thermostatic valve that allows adjustment of the desired temperature. This is equipped with a sensor that controls the opening and closing of the valve of the radiator so as to ensure the comfort conditions set by the user. In the complex of the condominium this mechanism decreases the amount of water in circulation in the system, decreasing the activity of the boiler and leading to a substantial energy saving / statement.
Accounting. In most cases, on all radiating bodies is installed a heat meter electronics (splitter heat) that allows to detect the consumption of each radiator. The installation is very simple and intervention, even if it requires skilled technicians, it is fast and does not require masonry work or wiring. The latest generation metering systems have within them a radio transmitter that allows you to take meter readings from the outside of the property.
Adjustment of the thermal power plant. To adjust the pressure variations caused by the opening and closing of the thermostatic valves and avoid consequent hiss and noise that occur in some cases, it is recommended that the installation of a central heat pump with variable pressure. Alternatively, for smaller installations, it is sufficient to install a pressure relief valve.
Division of costs. The reading of consumption is normally done once a year at the end of the winter season, sharing communal expenses of heating between the housing units in proportion to the value measured by heat meters. A minor part of the expenditure at the discretion of the condominium, may continue to be divided according to the criteria thousandths, to compensate for common costs and heat loss of the heating system
