DB.Api.HvacZone Class Reference

Class to handle HVAC zones. A zone group is a DB construct that allows zones that contain similar configurations of HVAC components to be grouped together. While the number and types of items of equipment has to be the same for each constituent zone, the equipment can have different operating parameters (e.g. heating output, etc.). The HVAC zone class allows attributes for individual zones within the group to be edited and also allows access to items of zone equipment. More...
