This invention relates to improved heating systems. A heating or cooling system is discloses for a building having at least three controlled rooms 2 each having a heating or cooling source 26, an operating means 28 controlling the heating or cooling source and a temperature detector the system also comprising a controller 32 arranged to receive data from the first, second and third temperature detection means and to output signals controlling the respective operating means the controller being able to allocate the first room to a first primary zone and the second controlled room to a first secondary zone the third room to a second primary zone. The controller 32 is arranged to control temperature in the first and second primary rooms in response to a respective temperature output from the first and third rooms and to control a temperature in the first secondary zone in response to a temperature output of the second temperature detection means when the first primary zone or the second primary zone is active. Secondary rooms can be linked to primary rooms. Active periods may be in response to a predetermined schedule, detected or predicted occupancy. An advantage of use of linked rooms is that energy consumption can be reduced. |
