Proper zone control is critical because fan coils and underfloor heating have different response speeds.

Fan coils

They react quickly and can be controlled via thermostat, fan speed, and water valve.

Underfloor heating

It has greater thermal inertia. Very frequent setpoint changes usually do not offer better comfort.

Many closed zones

If many valves close simultaneously, the total flow rate may drop below the heat pump's threshold.

Correct logic

The automation must coordinate thermostats, circulators, and the heat pump to ensure sufficient flow at all times.
