Interface for Room Groups and HVAC Zones manipulation.
VE Room Groups consist of nested containers. At the top level, we have a number of Grouping Schemes. Each Scheme can hold a number of Groups. Rooms are assigned to groups. A scheme is created with a default group to hold all the unassigned rooms. Assigning a room takes it out of its current group and moves it to the new group.
VE HVAC Zones follow a similar structure. An HVAC zone is a group of rooms that functions as a unit for the purpose of HVAC system control in the context of the ApacheHVAC (ApHVAC) system methodology. At the top level, we have a number of Zone Groups. Each Zone Group can hold a number of Zones. Rooms are assigned to Zones. One of the rooms assigned to each HVAC zone is designated the zone’s master room. Conditions in this room (as sensed by ApacheHVAC control sensors placed in the zone’s air outflow) may be used to control conditions in all rooms in the zone.
