Weather compensation

Weather compensation is a heating-control function that changes the heating-system flow temperature in response to outdoor conditions.

Weather compensation is a heating-control function that varies the flow temperature supplied to heat emitters as outside or ambient conditions change. In a heat pump or boiler system it usually means a controller reduces the target flow temperature in milder weather and raises it towards the design value in colder weather.
