1| | Compliance with the RITE and CTE Regulations

The new thermal Installation Regulations for Buildings (RITE), and the new Technical Building Code (CTE), make zoning systems obligatory, in order to ensure the user's comfort and a rational use of electricity. The responsibility for complying with this regulation is shared by the owner of the site, the design engineer, the project manager and any other person or company involved in implementing the installation.

2| Incentivised energy efficiency and energy savings

A rational use of energy is now essential, since energy resources are limited. To achieve this, the Government, through the IDAE (Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings) provides financial assistance for renovating installations to improve energy efficiency. Airzone, with its zoning systems, facilitates access to this type of grant.

For example, the difference in energy consumption between a conventional ducted installation and a zoned system using an Inverter air conditioner can be as much as 53%. For a 3-bedrooms home in Madrid area, this translates into a difference of about 400€ a year in energy costs.

3| Integrates heating and air conditioning systems

The Airzone zone-based systems can integrate the heating and air conditioning systems, controlling them by a single thermostat per zone, into a single system with a single user interface. The system as a whole not only reduces the number of user interfaces in the installation, but also makes the best use of each of the installed appliances, to provide the user with maximum comfort levels while reducing energy costs to the minimum. All this is combined with good design and elegant style.

• Integration with the principal manufacturers' air conditioning units
• Integration with home or building automation systems.
• Integration of heating and air conditioning systems

4| Increased comfort levels

A system that is not zone-based cannot allow users to set different temperatures for each zone in the installation. Some zones will therefore be outside the range of comfortable temperatures for as much as 60% of the time for which they are used. With an Airzone zone-based system, all the zones in the installation are within the chosen comfort range for 100% of the time for which they are used.
