The COBP Zoning System uses zone voting logic. The Zone Coordinator carries out the following actions:
- Monitors the status of the individual zone: the zones vote for either heating or cooling based on how the current zone temperature deviates from the current zone temperature setpoint.
- Processes the votes and determines whether the RTU must provide heating or cooling to the zones.
- Commands the RTU to the appropriate mode of either heating or cooling.
- The Zone Coordinator continues to monitor the zones and changes the operating mode of the RTU to accommodate the zones’ needs.
