Remember...“Poor location of thermostats can mean some people will be warm while others freeze”
Some problems are inevitable when areas with different thermal requirements are placed on the same thermal ventilation zone. In this case, poor thermostat location is also a significant problem.
The thermostat located in the left office is warmed by the afternoon sun and calls for cooling. As cooling takes place, the right office becomes too cold. Little can be done short of moving the thermostat.
Thermostats are best located in thermally neutral locations, away from sources of heat and drought. And spaces with significantly different thermal loads should not be in the same thermal ventilation zone.
