Abstract

A method for controlling and/or monitoring at least one actuator of a visual or thermal comfort device in a building, includes the steps of: collecting data from a plurality of control points configured to send at least one control order to at least one actuator, the data including, for at least each control point, information relating to an instantaneous measurement value of a physical quantity relating to comfort or to the energy consumption in the building. The measurement value is determined at the location of the control point. The method further includes the step of exploiting the data, wherein the exploitation includes the definition of at least one correspondence between an instantaneous measurement value of a physical quantity and a spatial location of the measurement of the physical quantity in the building.
