1.4 Commissioning the Heating System

The commissioning of the heating system is generally carried out by the heating engineer.
Particular attention should be paid to the hydraulic adjustment of the system so that a
control system can function without any problems.
Checking the function: All the heating elements must warm up to the same level when the
valves are open.

Figure 19: Hydraulic adjustment
Note: Even the best control system cannot adjust bad hydraulics.

2 Integration of the Heating into the Building Management
System

If the heating should be integrated in the building management system (here specifically
KNX), various solutions are available:
Individual room control
Heating system control (with and without influence from a boiler)

Figure 20: Integration of functions
The aim of this integration is increased comfort and effective use of energy.
