What are the energy-saving functions of a Nest thermostat?
The thermostat learns from your habits
The Nest thermostat is self-learning. It remembers when you raise or lower the heating. When you raise the temperature every Friday, the Nest will do it for you the next time. The thermostat adjust the temperature gradually, so you consume less energy. The Nest keeps the outdoor temperature into account and how long it took to get to your comfortable temperature earlier.
Control the thermostat from the app
With a smart thermostat, you can also control the temperature via the app. This way, you can still lower the temperature when you forgot that. The thermostat will eventually do that by itself, because it'll know when you leave the home normally speaking. When you leave earlier for once, you can lower the temperature with the eco option in the Nest app. The thermostat then chooses the optimal temperature that saves the most.
Save more with feedback from the Nest
The Nest thermostat learns from your habits and it provides feedback. This way, you'll get a green leaf in the Nest app and the thermostat when you save energy. You can see this leaf when you set the temperature to 16.5°C., or when you consume less than last week. You'll get a energy report every month that shows your monthly consumption of the last 2 months and 3 tips to consume even less.
Heating gradually is more affordable
There are 2 types of heating systems. An on/off system is either 100% on or off. The boiler heats or turns off when the temperature is 5 degrees to warm or too cold. The heating has to work hard for that. A modulating boiler heats a bit constantly, so you consume less in the end. The Nest thermostat helps, because it learns how fast is has to heat you home for you to consume as little as possible.
