IRC 3-Zone HVAC Controller

This controller allows one to connect multiple thermostats to a single heating and air conditioning system with each thermostat is located in a different area or "zone". Conditioned air is then routed separately to the zones using motorized dampers located inside the duct work. By interpreting the signals from the thermostats, the zone controller supervises the operation of the heating and air conditioning equipment and motorized dampers. The advantage to this type of system is its ability to maintain a more constant temperature throughout the home while allowing the use of smaller equipment.

Version 7.0 of IRC's 3-Zone HVAC controller is now available. This zone controller is self-optimizing by using an event recorder that stores several days worth of data. It uses this information to determine the most efficient way to maintain zone temperatures based on past usage. In the average two-storied home the temperature upstairs is commonly 7 to 10 degrees higher than on the main level. The IRC zone controller can reduce this differential to less than 1 or 2 degrees.
