Zone control
Zone control means: ‘…independent control of rooms or areas within buildings that need to be heated to different temperatures at different times. Where several rooms or areas of a building behave in a similar manner, they can be grouped together as a ‘zone’ and put on the same circuit and controller.’
Ref Non-domestic Building Services Compliance Guide For Scotland, 2015 Edition v1.1, published by the Scottish Government, Building Standards Division in April 2018.
