Airzone, the pioneer in dynamic HVAC control solutions, announces the long-awaited launch of Easyzone in the North American market. Easyzone is a plug-and-play, all-in-one zoning solution for concealed inverter and VRF HVAC units. At launch, Airzone will offer custom zoning kits for Samsung, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and LG systems, with more to come throughout 2023.
Easyzone is well established in the European marketplace as an easy-to-install and energy-efficient zoning solution. It ships as a pre-wired kit, including the thermally insulated motorized plenum, control board and plenum neck. The plenum neck provides custom mechanical adaptation for each model of HVAC unit, so installation is truly plug-and-play. Easyzone is available with either 6- or 8-inch dampers.
Airflow regulation mechanism
Once installed, Easyzone can regulate temperature and airflow capacity in up to six independent zones via Airzone’s patented airflow regulation mechanism. No bypass damper is required; Airzone’s unique control board precisely adjusts the airflow and unit capacity, resulting in energy consumption savings of up to 30%.
Easyzone adjusts the system’s capacity to the real needs of each moment"
“Easyzone delivers exceptional efficiency without sacrifice,” says Antonio Mediato, Founder and CEO of Airzone. “Every occupied zone is maintained at its ideal temperature. It offers far more precise unit control than a typical zoning solution, and unlike with a VAV, there’s no energy wasted through use of a bypass."
He continues, "Easyzone adjusts the system’s capacity to the real needs of each moment, so the same space can be made more comfortable with a less powerful indoor unit.”
Typical zoning solution
Easyzone is backed by Airzone’s exclusive library of manufacturer protocols, enabling sophisticated two-way communication between the VRF unit and the Easyzone system for controlling airflow capacity, set point temperature, fan speed, operation mode and more.
Easyzone is compatible with a range of fully programmable wired and wireless thermostats, enabling seven-day scheduling, setback, etc. for each zone.
Airzone’s deep API stack enables full integration with BMS
Airzone’s deep API stack also enables full integration with BMS such as BACnet and Modbus
Airzone’s deep API stack also enables full integration with BMS such as BACnet and Modbus and home automation systems including Control4, Crestron, Lutron, ELAN, and Savant.
The system can also be controlled remotely from any location via a web browser or the Airzone Cloud app, available on iOS and Android. HVAC professionals can also access the unit to check the error codes remotely through the app.
Efficiency and fine control
Building on Airzone’s dominance in the European market, Easyzone is the company’s second major North American product release following the announcement of the Aidoo Pro in August 2022. Like the Aidoo Pro, Easyzone is an easy-to-install solution that adds value to any Inverter/VRF system by increasing both efficiency and fine control.
“For North American dealers, the time is now,” says Antonio Mediato, adding “Incentives for more efficient HVAC systems are on the rise. Those who can offer green solutions without compromising comfort have unlimited opportunities ahead. Airzone is committed to bringing products to the U.S. market that make that possible.”
