Reply to comment by BxMxK in Closing off an AC vent by flyingGoatPenis

After working in telecom/IT for so long now I decided if I ever build or renovate a house I am putting in a home equivalent of a BAS system.

Multi stage heating and cooling, PWM controlled supply fan, dampers to limit airflow from the air handler all so each zone can be set to different temps, but keeping the static duct pressure in the optimal range.

My house is built like this. Built in 2018. The HVAC has 3 zones, 1 for the master, 1 for the living room, and 1 for the 2 lesser bedrooms on the other side of the house.

It works great when I'm just chillin in my office/game room and it gets toasty, I can just close the other 2 dampers so that only the game room is fed all the cold air I am requesting. And because I'm only cooling a small room thats about 350sq-ft at most, it cools it off pretty damn quick. Also helps that each zone has its own intake vent also

This only works with a well insulated house otherwise you end up just spending extra money for your system to fight itself,that said I'm insanely jealous, and want to reinsulate my e tire house so I can even dream of doing something like that.
