Technician's Guide & Workbook for Zoning

This Guide and Workbook was written to assist you in seamlessly integrate zoning installation practices into the ACCA residential HVAC design process. HVAC equipment selection, HVAC duct sizing, zoning air distribution design and balancing are all discussed in basic terms suitable for gaining a basic entry-level understanding of the process requirements. Many existing zoning systems predate the guidance provided in ANSI/ACCA 11 Manual Zr-2012 Residential Zoning. That 2012 standard has been updated, with the latest version approved by ANSI in 2018. Home zoning system designs should be based on the guidance provided in ACCA Manual Zr. Due to the demand for more control, comfort and flexibility, the future of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is in refining zoning designs and installation practices. When correctly designed, installed, and commissioned, multi-zoned homes offer homeowners better control over their environments. As advanced control systems and system diversity are added to design practices, those who wish to set controls to energy saving modes will be able to do so with a minimal impact on comfort. The TechnicianÕs Guide and Workbook for Zoning provides generic training that covers the basics a technician should know when tasked with installing, setting up, and testing various configurations of zone systems and their individual components. It is written in everyday language that is easy to read and understand, with numerous illustrations and pictures to help highlight major points and clarify the textÕs message.
