Zoning is particularly important in businesses where staff occupancy is variable. The days of all staff going to the office five days a week are behind us post-lockdown. Hybrid working is now common and it’s important to ensure that unoccupied areas aren’t being heated unnecessarily.

The same principle applies to many logistics and warehouse buildings where areas are often unoccupied for much of the time. A zoned heating system enables separate areas to be heated independently, ideally linking the heating to occupancy sensors to provide demand-controlled heating.
