See our Zoning Packages (under Catalog tab) for examples of systems.

Slave Zones are HVAC zones where a thermostat or a switch directly controls the damper to simply close off airflow to an area, without controlling the HVAC system. This zone type is used in rooms/areas where exact temperature is not vital (i.e. in seldom used basements). A Complete HVAC zoning system allows you to control temperature in each area/room that is its own independent zone. This requires a Control Panel, thermostats for each zone and at least one flexible or mechanical damper per zone. You could also have a combination of both the Slave and Comp
