COMMISSIONING OF SENSORS AND ACTUATORS IN BUILDINGS

A method for commissioning a structure (1) comprising the steps of: forming at least two pairs of identifiers, each pair comprising an identifier of an actuator (3a - 3e, 4a - 4e) and an identifier of a sensor (5a - 5d) and each pair linking an identifier of one of the at least two actuators (3a - 3e, 4a - 4e) to an identifier of one of the at least two sensors (5a - 5d); forming for each pair of identifiers one pair of data, each pair of data comprising the setting obtained from the actuator (3a - 3e, 4a - 4e) of the corresponding pair of identifiers and the reading obtained from the sensor (5a - 5d) of the corresponding pair of identifiers; determining for each pair of data correlation coefficient between the actuator setting of the pair of data and the sensor reading of the pair of data, using said correlation coefficients to identify amongst the pairs of identifiers at least one pair of identifiers with the closest correlation between the corresponding actuator setting the corresponding sensor reading; assigning the actuator of said most closely correlated pair of identifiers to the sensor of said most closely correlated pair of identifiers.
