Do not overheat your residential/business premises. The optimal temperature in heated rooms is 20°C. Every further degree above requires six percent of additional energy.
Install heat output regulation devices – a thermostatic radiator set (a thermostatic radiator valve and a thermostatic head) i.e. devices which may adjust (regulate) heat consumption. Adhere to instructions for setting a desired temperature published by the company which had installed said valves on your residential/business premises.
Make sure the windows on your residential/business buildings close tightly. If they do not, they should be mended. Otherwise, a lot of energy will be lost.
Ventilate the rooms regularly but no longer than ten minutes. In this way the heat accumulated in the walls and furniture will be preserved and your apartments/business offices will soon be as warm as before the ventilation. Never regulate the room temperature by opening the windows.
Do not obstruct radiators by furniture or curtains. Drying laundry on the radiator effectively stops heating. A covered and obstructed radiator is isolated and has no real effect.
As a building, think about the renovation of your buildings envelope as well as of other energy improvements in your building.
