Zones

Use the zone tool to define spaces that can be controlled by environmental control systems, such as heating, cooling, and humidity control systems. This lets you perform load balancing and analysis procedures on a building model.

About Zones
Zone and spaces are independent components that are used together to achieve a common result.
Working with Zones
As spaces are placed in a project, Revit assigns them to the Default zone. It is recommended that you create HVAC zones to meet the heating and cooling requirements of your project and assign each space to a zone that you have created.
About Viewing and Selecting Zones
You use floor plan and section views to work with zones in the building model. You will need to activate the visibility for zones to view them.
Relocate Zone Indicators
You can move a zone indicator to more clearly display the association between zones and spaces.
Verify Zones in the System Browser
You can use the System Browser to verify the zone/space hierarchical relationship as you create new zones and add a spaces to them. You can also view spaces in the Default zone.
About Creating a Zone Schedule
Creating a zone schedule is the same as creating any type of schedule in Revit.
Activate Zones and Spaces Visibility
You can activate visibility for spaces and HVAC zones in floor plan and section views.
About Applying a Color Scheme and Color Scheme Legend to Zones
You can apply a color scheme and a color scheme legend to zones in one process.
About Working with Phases and Zones
You can use phases with zones (and spaces) as you do with other components in a Revit project.
About Working with Zones and a Linked Model
You can work with zones in a project while linking to a model.
Verify Zones
Use the System Browser to verify the correct association of spaces and zones.
About Editing Zones
You can use the Edit Zone tab when you create or modify zones.
