If attributes are set correctly, it should be possible to achieve desired temperature in zones with coolest possible medium (in heating mode) or warmest possible medium (in cooling mode).

How final set point is calculated
doc_tap_HowFinal;
Equitherm curve returns temperature of flow water based on outdoor temperature. Angle of the curve, parallel shift, temperature limits and adjustments based on data from thermostats are affecting the final results.

Angle
doc_tap_Angleee;
For floor heating systems, values between 0.2 and 0.8 are commonly used. Lower values are more suitable for high quality insulation.
Table below shows resulting set point temperature based on outdoor temperature and angle of the curve:

E.g. if outdoor temperature is 0ºC and angle of equithermic curve is 0.6, resulting set point temperature is 37ºC.
doc_tap_outdoor_37ºC;
Parallel shift_
doc_tap_Parallel_shift;
Increases or decreases the curve by defined value.
E.g. if set point temperature based on angle of curve is 37ºC, and parallel shift is set to 4ºC, resulting set point is 41ºC.

Adjustments based on data from thermostats

All zone termostats that are linked to equithermic smart rule are affecting the final result.

| Set point from zones | Equithermic curve will be shifted up if highest set point of zone thermostats is more than 22ºC | Equithermic curve will be shifted down if lowest set point of zone thermostats is less than 22ºC |
