Residential Zone HVAC Control Efficency Research
Residential Zone HVAC Control Efficency Research
(OP)
I am looking for any case studies or simulations showing performance differences between single zone (whole home) HVAC controls and multi-zone (room-by-room) HVAC controls. I am also interested in reports on energy savings due to the use of occupancy sensors. If there are no studies for zoned controls in residential I would also be interested in studies in light commercial.

Tabular data from a report may not apply to your building
DOE has tools for modeling:

You could check the Database for Energy Efficient Resources (also from us folks in California) at http://www.energy.ca.gov/deer/.

Zoning/Controls does not equate to Energy Efficiency.
