“Snap-in” Zoning Retrofit
•Low cost
•DIY: no configuration
•Focus on forced air
•Other systems are similar

Weather:• Has a large effect on temperature• Is not fully observable• Rarely repeats
Q: Can we learn the effect of dampers on temperature sensors without knowing the
weather?

•Deployed zoning in a 7-room house
•7 sets of dampers
•12 thermostats
•Controlled based on occupancy
•21 days of data

Conclusions•“Snap-in” Zoning
•Cheap, easy, & energy saving
•Coordination btwn objects is needed
•Learning is complicated by weather
•ON/OFF separates weather/system
