Thermostat/Sensor Location
Location of the thermostat or zone sen-
sor is an important element of effective
room control and comfort.
The best location is typically on a wall,
remote from the HVAC unit. Readings at
this location assure that the desired set-
point is achieved across the space, not
just near the unit itself. It may be neces-
sary to subdivide the zone to ensure
adequate control and comfort.
See Figure 36 for detailed areas where
the thermostat or zone sensor should
and should not be mounted. These
include:
• Near drafts or “dead spots”
(Behind doors or corners)
• Near hot or cold air ducts
• Near radiant heat (appliances,
windows, etc.)
• Near concealed pips or chimneys
• On outside walls or other
non-conditioned surfaces.
• In air flows from adjacent zones or
other units.
