Recently we discussed how putting each room of your home on its own zone in a ducted air conditioning system saved energy and increased comfort, which you can read here. To take this to the next level, the temperature of each room should be considered. 

Ever wondered why some rooms in your home feel like a sauna while others are like an igloo? Let’s explore how smart temperature control is changing the game for Australian homes.

Why Traditional Air Conditioning Falls Short

Picture this: your standard air conditioning system has one thermostat, usually tucked away in the hallway. When it hits your target temperature of say, 23 degrees, the system thinks its job is done. But we all know the reality:

• Your east-facing rooms (and downstairs rooms) are much cooler than 23 degrees
• The west-facing rooms (and upstairs rooms) are much hotter than 23 degrees

Enter MyPlaceIQ: The Smart Home System That Gets It Right

This is where MyPlaceIQ shines. It introduces Individual Temperature Control (ITC) – think of it as giving each room its own personal temperature manager. Now every space in your home can maintain its perfect temperature, without wasting energy on rooms that are already comfortable.

• East facing and downstairs rooms will condition to the required temperature, and importantly, not over-condition. Which then has the effect of sending the extra air to the rooms that need it the most, ensuring that the hotter rooms can also achieve their temperature.
• Because the system is working to the rooms that you set temperatures for, the system will run until the rooms you are using are satisfied – no more, no less. 

It’s through the combination of zones and temperature sensors that you can have maximum comfort AND maximum energy efficiency – so it actually is a scenario where you can have your cake and eat it too!

MyPlaceIQ Energy Savings

In fact, zoning each room on its own zone with a temperature sensor saves up to 46% in the running costs of your ducted air con. For the average home owner in Australia, this equates to an estimated saving of $980 per year.
