The Comfort365 is a simple, low-cost solution for
providing upstairs and downstairs comfort in new homes without the hassles of zoning.
A common problem found in two-story homes is the uneven heating and cooling of the upstairs and downstairs. During the summer, the upstairs is too warm. During the winter, the downstairs is too cool. The Comfort365 solves the problem by dynamically adjusting the airflow based on the upstairs and downstairs temperatures.
A Comfort365 thermostat is installed in the living space, one or two wired temperature sensors are installed in the bedroom area, a wiring hub is installed at the equipment and two modulating dampers are installed to control the airflow to the living space and the bedroom space.
Every 2 minutes during heating and cooling calls, the C365 thermostat compares the temperature at the sensor and the temperature at the thermostat. If the temperatures are different, the Comfort365 automatically adjusts the modulating dampers 2% so that more airflow is directed to the space that needs it for a uniformly comfortable home.
