The research leading to these results has received funding from the commissioned task entitled “VIA CARPATIA Universities of Technology Network named after the President of the Republic of Poland Lech Kaczynski” contract no. MEiN/2022/DPI/2577 action entitled “In the neighborhood - inter-university research internships and study visits.”
Due to the large share of the residential building sector in CO2 emissions, it is necessary to look for quick-to-implement and cost-free solutions for heating systems aimed at increasing their efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. The aim of the study is a multi-aspect assessment of the proper setting of the heating curve in the weather controller of a low-temperature floor heating system with a condensing gas boiler, and an analysis of the impact of the heating curve slope on the natural gas consumption, the emission of gaseous and dust pollutants and on maintaining appropriate indoor air parameters: air temperature, operative temperature and PMV and PPD. A wide range of simulation tests were carried out using the TRNSYS software for an existing energy-efficient single-family residential building, with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, located in north-eastern Poland in Bialystok. Changing the heating curve slope by 0.1 can reduce gas consumption and pollutant emissions by 1.6–10.3 %. Low heating curve slopes may result in failure to reach the temperature set by users (difference between the set and achieved indoor temperature up to 1.9 K), while maintaining standard thermal comfort parameters (−0.5<PMV<+0.5; PPD<10 %). Reducing the indoor air temperature by 2 K can contribute to reducing gas consumption by 11 % while maintaining standard thermal comfort parameters. Changing the heating curve slope is one of the effective methods of reducing fuel consumption in the building. Results are useful for users of buildings equipped with low-temperature heating systems with floor heating and installers of these systems.
