Abstract: The control of an energy management installation includes an installation modelling phase (P1) comprising a step (E1) of creating a multi-agent control system including at least energy consuming, distributing and producing agents. The models of the energy distributing agents take into account characteristics concerning the distributing elements of the installation, including the energy distribution and/or consumption constraints and/or the financial and/or environmental distribution costs and/or the influence of the operation of the distributing elements on the operation of the producing elements. The control also comprises an installation regulation phase (P2) comprising an optimization step (E10) using the models incorporated in the agents to optimize the way the energy is produced by the producing agents, distributed by the distributing agents and allocated to the consuming agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimating the fuel supply of a boiler, for a building (2) having a boiler (4) and energy accumulation means (4?), in order to ensure a desired indoor temperature during an autonomy period P, this method including the following steps: a) making an estimation of the average outdoor temperature during the autonomy period P, b) determining the consumption of the building (2) in order to ensure said desired indoor temperature, depending on the previous estimation of the average outdoor temperature, c) determining the amount of energy to be provided depending on the previous consumption, and the amount of fuel required for providing this energy.

Abstract: Method of thermal management of a building, on the basis of a thermal system equipped with a low-power generator, characterized in that it comprises a step (E3) of turning on the generator ahead of time in the absence of any occupant in the building so as to comply with a future comfort setpoint at a future instant (H), by taking account of the energy available (Egenerator—H) at the generator up until this future instant (H) and of the energy necessary (Eheating—H) to reach the future comfort setpoint within the building at this future instant (H).
