Useful informaon about
Brunata Futura Heat
Congratulaons on your heat cost allocator!
This leaet provides informaon about the
electronic heat cost allocator Futura Heat which
has just been ed on your radiators. The meter
can be read remotely and contains various
informaon which you can see on the display
and learn more about in the folder. You can also
read about how to reduce heang consumpon
- for the benet of the environment and your
nances.
Heat cost allocaon
Brunata Futura Heat is a heat cost allocator
used for registering the heang consumpon
from a radiator. All heat cost allocators in the
property are typically read once a year and the
residents are charged for heang on the basis
of the individual home’s consumpon relave
to that of the enre property.
Patented measuring concept
Brunata Futura Heat is a heat cost allocator with
two-sensor measuring. In addion, Brunata
Futura Heat measures all the heat which the
radiator emits to the room (plus heat) and all
the heat which the radiator absorbs from the
room (minus heat). Deducng the minus heat
from the plus heat provides the heat received
from the central heang system. You are
charged only for this heat. Heat from the sun,
wood-burning stoves, etc. is not registered as
heang by the meter.
Reader-friendly display
It is easy to read the meter. There is no
need to push buons and the meter display
provides informaon about: your total heang
consumpon this year, your consumpon last
year, the scale and control gure used and the
meter number.
Consumpon this year
Scale and control no.
Consumpon last year
Meter no.
Consumpon this year
The heang consumpon is measured in
units and added up. This is shown as on
the meter display. On the rst day of the new
heang accounts year, the ‘consumpon this
year’ automacally resets to zero.
Consumpon last year
The consumpon last year is registered on
the cut-o date for the property’s heang
accounts year. The value is saved in the meter
and shown on the display as . This allows
you to monitor your heang consumpon and
compare it with last year’s consumpon.
Scale and control number
During the installation, each meter is
adjusted to the radiator output by using a
scale. The scale ensures that the heating
consumption is correctly measured and
comparable with the consumption on other
radiators with the same type of heat cost
allocator. The scale is indicated by the last
three digits on the display and does not
change. The first two digits on the display
are a control figure which Brunata uses
internally to ensure the meter has been read
correctly (the control figure is not fixed, but
changes regularly).
Meter number
Each meter has its own unique meter number.
When Brunata prepares the heang accounts,
the meter number provides informaon about
installaon locaon, scale, etc.
Future Heat remembers everything
The current heang consumpon is auto-
macally saved in the meter’s memory. It
therefore is not necessary to read the meter
on the actual cut-o date in connecon with
removal. Brunata can read the meter at a later
me.
If Futura Heat is exposed to aempts of
manipulaon or other interference, these
are also registered in the memory. These
registraons are checked in connecon with
the annual reading, residents moving out or in
and the processing of any complaints.
Due to the many saved registraons of
heang consumpon and radiator/room
temperatures, it is possible to assess whether
unusual energy consumpon is caused by bad
user habits, faults in the heang system or
inadequate building insulaon.
Long lifeme
Futura Heat has a very long life because the
baeries are replaceable. It uses a lithium
baery lasng up to ten years at normal
operaon.
If consumpon is registered even though the
thermostat is turned o
If the heat cost allocator registers units even
though the thermostat valve is turned o, it may
be because the radiator emits unwanted heat.
The reason for this may for instance be a leaking
thermostat valve or hot water owing into the
radiator through the return pipe at the boom
(only possible in single-string systems). If this
happens, you should contact the landlord
immediately.
Do not compare readings from dierent
heang meter types
If you used to have heang meters of a dierent
brand or type, the consumpon registered by
the old meters is not immediately comparable
with that registered by the new Futura Heat
allocators.
A Brunata heat cost allocator typically
registers more measuring units per input
heang energy unit than older heang
meters. However, you will not pay more than
before, because the cost per unit is reduced
correspondingly (provided your consumpon
and/or the cost of energy do not change).
The greater resoluon into more units
ensures a more accurate and fair allocaon
of the property’s total heang consumpon.
Use heang sensibly
1. Use all radiators, but do not turn
them up more than necessary.
2. As a rule, keep all your windows
closed during the heang season,
also in the bedroom. Air the
rooms two or three mes a day
by opening the windows for
approx. ve minutes, so all the
humidity and bad air are drawn
out. Remember to turn o all
radiators before airing the room
and ideally wait a few minutes
before turning them on again
aer closing the windows.
3. Never turn o all the heang
in a room. All rooms should be
heated, although they do not all
have to be heated to the same
temperature.
4. Considerable heang savings are
obtained by reducing the room
temperature at night and possibly
during the day. Remember that
when you want to increase the
temperature again, you just need
to return the thermostat valve to
its normal seng.
5. Never cover a radiator while
it is on as it reduces the heat
emission. Radiators also should
not be covered by curtains.
