ZONING $aves Energy
ZONEFIRST has continued to champion the enrgy saving aspects of zone damper systems. We’ve posted findings from various studies all pointing to the energy saving aspects of zoning. Of course these same studies show that zoning can also increase your energy use if one keeps all the thermostats at the same temperature. This solves the comfort issues people experience between rooms but we admit will not save energy. The savings comes by having the ability to setbackand even turn off the heating or cooling to ununsed zones and by not over heating/cooling rooms in order to get comfortable in another. See the summary of these reports at http://zonefirst.com/energy_savings.html.
