Airzone, Smart Climate Control
Airzone is the world leader in HVAC climate control systems. With over 20 years of experience,
it is one of the most prestigious companies in the HVAC industry. Airzone Solutions allow the
user to control different types of technologies with the same interface.

ALL AIRZONE SYSTEMS CAN BE COMBINED INTO THE SAME PROJECT, INTEGRATED
WITH OTHER CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ALSO CONTROLLED REMOTELY.

If you have any questions, please contact us at projects@airzonecontrol.com and our Projects
Department will help you in anything you need.

The concept of smart control by Airzone

The smart control performed by our systems allows the user to achieve an optimal level of
thermal and acoustic comfort as every single zone is controlled independently.

3
Airzone controllers manage the entire installation and favor a more rational use of energy.

We offer numerous possible combinations so that our solutions can be adapted to the needs of
the user and the installation.

An Airzone Integrated Zoning System transforms a traditional ducted HVAC system into a
multizone system, basing its operation on two main factors:

Optimization of the HVAC system energy use, thanks to the dedicated Airzone Communication
Gateways.
Providing the highest thermal comfort range to every zone.

The Airzone Integrated Zoning Systems allow to increase energy savings as well as diminish
first costs. This happens by means of the communications between Inverter units and Airzone
system, as well as efficiency algorithms.

It allows to individually control the temperature of every zone conditioned by the same ducted
indoor unit. This occurs thanks to the communications that exist between the sensors installed
on each zone and the motorized elements installed on ducts. Therefore, the system covers only
the thermal load of those zones where both thermal demand and occupancy exist.

Zoning systems

The Integrated Zoning System developed by Airzone allows to regulate the air flow supplied
to each airconditioned zone and may satisfy the thermal needs of each one of them. In
addition, it includes several efficiency algorithms which by controlling Inverter heat pumps
(operation mode, set point temperature, fan speed, etc.) optimizes energy using.

4
These facts produce an increase of both comfort number of hours and energy savings as
can be seen in the following figures, extracted from an independent study from the Energy
Researching Group of the University of Malaga, Spain, with the title “Report over the Airzone
integrated zoning model and its comparison to a non-zoned system”.

Quality assurance
Our commitment to the highest quality is our hallmark. We design, develop and manufacture all
our products. They are respectful with the environment and comply with all the international
directives in terms of energy efficiency.

BREEAM

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) is

a system of assessing, ra ng and cer fying the sustainability of buildings. Using this
system, buildings are given an overall scoring based on an objective evaluation.

The BREEAM ratings range from Acceptable to pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent to
Outstanding. BREEAM evaluates 10 categories, and Airzone can improve the score in the
following categories:

5
 Management: “Sustainable Management”
Health and Wellbeing: “Thermal Comfort” and “Thermal Zoning”
Energy: “Energy efficiency”
Pollution: “GWP refrigerant – Building facilities”
Innova on: “Exemplary level in Energy efficiency and Sustainable
management”

For further information, please visit www.breeam.com.

LEED

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a system for assessing

environmental performance in the construc on or renova on of buildings, which aims
to achieve a rational and effective use of energy of materials and water

In LEED you can reach four levels: Certificate, Silver, Gold and Platinum. This certification
method evaluates buildings according to 8 criteria and Airzone can obtain extra points in the
following categories:

Energy and atmosphere: “Op miza on of energy efficiency” and

“Energy consumption measurement”
Indoor environmental quality: “Thermal Comfort”

Innovation in design: “Optimization of energy efficiency”

For further information, please visit https://new.usgbc.org/leed.

Energy consumption optimization

To achieve a high degree of comfort and reduce energy consumption, the communication
between the control system and AC unit is required to be perfect. The Airzone
communication gateway® is the device that enables this bi-directional communication,
improving fundamental features of the operation of the AC units.

Thanks to the Airzone communication gateway®, Inverter/VRF systems work in partial

load most of the time, resulting in the optimization of their performance. Our systems modify
the Partial Load Ratio (PLR) by adjusting the set-point temperature of the AC unit based on the
return temperature, boosting the performance of the unit. Thanks to this optimization of the
energy consumption, zoned AC units can save up to 53% more than non-zoned Inverter AC
units.

6
Airzone communications gateways® are compatible with most AC units of the main
manufacturers in the HVAC industry.

Effective control
Airzone has developed a series of energy-efficiency algorithms that improve the energy
performance of the installation. Additionally, they offer multiple benefits to both installers and
users.

Eco-Adapt algorithm

Airzone systems allow you to limit the highest and lowest set-point temperature both in cooling
and heating. Whether it is from the Airzone Cloud webserver or from the Airzone Blueface
thermostat, the user can choose among the different Eco-Adapt modes, depending on the
desired limit temperatures, to optimize the energy consumption and save money.

Smart control for the whole installation

The user can perform a complete and effective control of the installation thanks to our
interfaces, either from our state-of-the-art thermostats or remotely using the Airzone Cloud
webserver.

Our interfaces allow the user to control the temperature, set schedules, change the operating
mode or refer to the weather information, among many other features.

BMS Integration

Our Communication with building management control systems is carried out using the
Modbus RTU native protocol.

We can apply Airzone control to other home and building automation systems, thanks to the
development of integration gateways that use different protocols such as BACnet and KNX, as
well as enable communication with other open protocols, such as LonWorks.

In order to continue to offer fully integrated solutions, we work directly with integrated building

7
management companies. An example is our collaboration with Wago and Lutron.

Users with an Airzone Cloud webserver connected to their systems will be able to enjoy voice
control functionalities, using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

 What is VAF System?
VAF is the ideal control system for HVAC since it combines the control of multi-zone and
individual fancoils with the control of radiant heating. Moreover, it can also integrate different
technologies such as chilled water and direct expansion in the same interface.

The performance of the VAF system lies on the combination of different types of Zone
Modules: individual indoor unit control, radiant element control and motorized dampers for air
supply. All these modules are connected to the Main Control Board through the Communication
Bus. Other elements such as Airzone Communication Gateways with zoned indoor units or the
Airzone Cloud Webserver connect directly with the Main Control Board.

System Features

Individual control up to 10 zones.

In the same zone it is possible to control both air conditioning and radiant heating.
Integrated control of the AC units thanks to the dedicated Communication Gateways.
Communication Gateways of 3 speeds and 0-10 V for chilled water ducted indoor units
available.
Combination of ducted and ductless units.
Flow distribution with weight adjustment through the Q-Adapt algorithm.
Adjustable Air.
All zone modules can be connected to wired or wireless thermostats.
Notifications of the AC unit errors on Airzone thermostats.
Integration into Modbus and/or BACnet Building Management Systems.

Features by Zone

Selection of the operation mode.

Automatic power off by window contact.
Delayed power off by occupancy detection.
Input for remote temperature sensing.
