The comfort equation

With energy prices on the rise, staying cool can feel like a luxury. But it doesn’t have to. The newest generation of air conditioners are designed to deliver maximum comfort with minimal running costs and Daikin’s Zena is leading the charge.

Sleek, compact and energy-efficient, the Zena split-system is proof that great design and smart tech can go hand in hand. It’s stylish enough to complement a modern renovation, powerful enough for family living and intelligent enough to know when to save energy.

Style meets substance

Historically, air-conditioners haven’t been known for their looks. The Zena changes that. Its ultra-compact casing (just 295mm high, 798mm wide and 185mm deep) in a white or black wood-style finish means it can cool your room without dominating. It’s also built for performance.

Daikin’s Coanda Airflow technology ensures cool air travels evenly across your space, while the Intelligent Eye detects when a room is empty and switches to energy-saving mode. Translation: you stay comfortable while the system quietly cuts your power bill.

Designed for modern living

Today’s homes demand more than just temperature control. They need smarter, connected solutions. With built-in wi-fi, the Zena links effortlessly to Daikin’s Mobile Controller app, letting you adjust settings, switch modes or start cooling your home before you even walk through the door.
