Zoning is used to enable homeowners to reduce conditioning energy usage in unoccupied areas, while simultaneously maintaining comfort conditions in occupied areas of the home.

Multi-zone heating and cooling system allow to separately control various areas of the house. Zoned HVAC separates houses into different temperature zones which can be controlled separately. Each room can function as a zone.

And If some areas of the home aren’t getting comfortably warm or cool, zoned HVAC can solve the problem. When deciding how to zone HVAC system, it’s crucial to evaluate the following:

  • Architectural features
  • Time-of-day load patterns
  • Airflow ratios
  • Room-to-room opening
