A thermal zone is a group of spaces or a single space with individual temperature control from a shared HVAC system. So, to meet the credit requirements, you need to have at least one temperature sensor for each zone with individual control. Just remember that additional temperature sensors may be required in thermal zones that contain both perimeter and core spaces, zones that have perimeter areas with different orientations, or zones that have substantially different usage types.
Question
<p>The LEED Reference Guide states that we need to have at least one temperature sensor in each thermal zone with occupied spaces. What defines a thermal zone for this credit?</p>
