To determine the heating limit (summer / winter operation), the attenuated outside
temperature is also required (see below).
The heating curve is determined by the 2 curvepoints at the design temperature and
the theoretical heating limit. Heat transmission in the space is not linear, however.
When there is a small differential between flow temperature and room temperature, the
ability of heat transmission decreases. This is taken into account by the heating curve.
The setpoint predefined by the heating curve can also be influenced by the following
factors:
• The room temperature setpoint
• The current room temperature (room temperature influence)
For more detailed information, refer to subsection
9.5.3 “Influences on the flow tem-
perature setpoint”.
9.5.1 The composite and the attenuated outside temperature
Identifiers used:
TO
Actual outside temperature
TOeff
Composite (effectively acting) outside temperature
TOfil
Outside temperature filtered with the building time constant
TOstrDmp
Attenuated outside temperature
τBldg
Building time constant
p
Window
Proportion of windows in %
The composite outside temperature is made up of the actual outside temperature To
and the outside temperature TOfil filtered with the building time constant
τBldg. The
proportion of windows p
Window
(adjustable from 0…100 %) determines the proportions
with which the 2 temperatures are considered.
The composite outside temperature is used for the heating curve and the heating limit.
To obtain the attenuated outside temperature, the actual outside temperature TO is
filtered twice with the building time constant
τBldg.

For the heating limit, the actual, the composite and the attenuated outside temperature
are considered.
The controller is supplied with the proportion of windows set to 50 % so that the com-
posite outside temperature represents the mean value of the actual and the filtered
outside temperature.
It is calculated as follows:
TOeff = (0.5 × TO) + (0.5 × TOfil)
