I have never been able to understand ducted aircon. Even with "zones" it's still essentially one unit doing the job for all zones? I cant see how it can be done without issues of temp changes in other rooms. I use to work in a office that had 2 separate work areas controlled by the one AC. We use to always fight between the rooms as the "other" side was forever turning the temp up as they were cold but then we cooked!! Separate reverse cycle units for me Its not a hard principle. If you have just one unit then what you have is dampers in the ducts that can close off or open zones. So say you have a two zone system and both zones are working it provides air to both zones. If only one zone is working, the damper closes off the other zone. In theory you should have a sensor in each zone so that when the required temp is reached the zone can turn off. In the example you have above, two separate work areas doesn't mean two zones, it sounds like one zone, two work areas. Oh split systems can offer multiple zones, with one outdoor unit and multiple indoor units in both fixed wall/roof cartridge form or ducted. The last home I lived in didn't have a pool and when i went to sell it the agents were not happy, even telling me to put one in to sell the place.
