Your questions – Radiant panel heating, who can save themselves from the squeeze on temperature and ignition

We need to understand what is meant by panel heating. If it is understood that the heating is obtained through solar panels, things are certainly as the administrator says, because there is no temperature limit for buildings that are equipped with systems mainly powered by renewable energies. If, on the other hand, as appears probable, he means heating with radiant panels, it depends on the type of system. The old rules on periods, switch-on times and temperatures have been changed this year due to the exceptional situation created on the energy market. The lighting period (which we remember depends on the climatic zone in which the municipality is located) has been reduced overall by 15 days (eight days postponed for lighting and seven days early for closing), the daily duration decreased by one hour , the temperature of one degree, to 19. The new rules are provided for by the decree of the Ministry for Ecological Transition of last October 6, in which it is noted that there are plants for which it is not possible (or uneconomical) to adapt to the obligations of thermoregulation and heat metering systems and condominiums with radiant panel systems often find themselves in this situation. The ministerial decree refers to a specific Enea handbook, which the Body drafted within the timescales prescribed by the decree, and which in point 8 recommends (but does not require) for centralized systems with distribution to manifolds (we think this is the type of system to which our reader refers) the installation of a zone valve on the manifold combined with a zone thermostat (or chronothermostat).
