Abstract
HVAC system for a building with a control, including a model containing representations of HVAC devices and control devices, assignments between the representations of HVAC devices and control devices, and representations of fluid control devices and sensor devices. A configuring section can: cause one of several fluid control devices to vary a fluid control parameter; determine a variation of a sensor parameter at one of several sensor devices caused by variation of the fluid control parameter; compare the determined sensor device with the model to detect the representation of sensor device(s) corresponding to the sensor device determined; assign the sensor device determined to one of the control devices corresponding to a representation of control devices assigned to the representation of the sensor device corresponding to the sensor device determined and/or assigned to the representation of the fluid control device for which the fluid control parameter has been varied.
