Zoned heating system
Zoned heating system
(OP)
i have to install a zoned heating system to a gas powered heating system in a school. i want to group different class rooms together and control them from one central location using some sort of zoned control system. currently the radiators in class rooms are adjusted manually by opening and closing valves. id like to maybe dissable these valves and control from one location. what equipment/system would be most suitable and would it depend greatly on how the building is plumbed? also could i do this by using tamper proof thermostats in each room instead? the problem with this solution is i think these thermostats are expensive.any ideas comments?

The new schools we are designing have primary/secondary loops with electronic control valves for each room, matched to a DDC thermostat, thus each room is its own zone. This could be seen as overkill, although its the standard Dept of Education requirement.
What you can do for this existing building all depends on what you have, how much they're willing to rip out, and how complex a control system you're willing to install. Of course, it ultimately depends on how much they're willing to spend.
