AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF DEVICES FOR BUILDINGS, CORRESPONDING BUILDING SPECIFICATION AND USER-SPECIFIC OPTIMISATION CRITERIA

摘要

Assigning automation devices to a space segment in a building is done in a computer (300) according to a computer-implemented method. The computer (300) reads a function data structure (310) indicating which functions are specified with their respective effects for the segment. The computer (300) reads in a device pool data structure (320) representing device types and their executable functions for use in buildings. A functions-on-type mapping module (301) implements the mapping of functions to device types, thereby creating a type list (311). A type-to-device mapping module (302) implements the mapping of the device types from the type list (311) to devices according to given device conditions, thereby creating a device list (312) that indicates how much Devices of a respective device type are needed. Furthermore, the computer (300) has filter modules (305, 303) which optimize the selection.
