Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention est relative à un procédé de commande individualisée et automatisée des moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre d'un bâtiment.The invention relates to an individualized and automated control method for concealment means of at least one window of a building.

L'invention est aussi relative à un ensemble de commande individualisée et automatisée des moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre d'un bâtiment pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de commande.The invention also relates to an individualized and automated control assembly of the concealment means of at least one window of a building for the implementation of the control method.

L'invention est aussi relative à un outil de paramétrage d'au moins un cône d'éblouissement pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de commande.The invention also relates to a tool for parameterizing at least one glare cone for implementing the control method.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

Il est connu de commander l'ouverture et/ou la fermeture de moyens occultant d'une fenêtre d'un bâtiment. L'ouverture et/ou la fermeture des moyens occultant tels que notamment des stores à lames est faite en fonction de plusieurs de critères.It is known to control the opening and / or closing of means obscuring a window of a building. The opening and / or closing of the occulting means such as including blinds is made according to several criteria.

Comme décrit dans la demande de brevet FR2922938 , l'orientation des lames des stores se fait en fonction de l'orientation des rayons solaires directs. L'orientation des rayons est définie essentiellement par l'élévation. D'autres paramètres telle que la luminance du ciel peuvent être pris en compte pour la commande de l'ouverture et/ou de la fermeture des moyens occultant. Cette solution intègre aussi un abaque intégrant l'ensemble des projections solaires mémorisées au cours d'une année.As described in the patent application FR2922938 , the orientation of the blades of the blinds is based on the orientation of direct sunlight. The orientation of the rays is defined essentially by the elevation. Other parameters such as the luminance of the sky can be taken into account for controlling the opening and / or closing of the occulting means. This solution also includes an abacus integrating all solar projections stored during a year.

Ce type de solution peut présenter l'inconvénient de ne pas prendre en compte le niveau d'éclairage présent dans la ou les pièces.This type of solution may have the disadvantage of not taking into account the level of lighting present in the room or rooms.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, la solution décrite dans les brevets US75566137 , US6583573 , US2010/0071856A1 intègre des capteurs de lumière à l'intérieur du bâtiment. Les capteurs sont positionnés de préférence dans des espaces comportant une fenêtre avec des moyens occultant.To remedy this drawback, the solution described in the patents US75566137 , US6583573 , US2010 / 0071856A1 integrates light sensors inside the building. The sensors are preferably positioned in spaces comprising a window with occulting means.

De façon générale, les solutions existantes, plus ou moins complexes en terme d'intégration de paramètre de contrôle, ne prennent pas en compte l'orientation de toutes les directions du rayonnement du soleil par rapport à une zone spatiale sensible dans le bâtiment.In general, the existing solutions, which are more or less complex in terms of control parameter integration, do not take into account the orientation of all the directions of the sun's radiation with respect to a sensitive spatial zone in the building.

EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

L'invention vise donc à remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique, de manière à proposer un procédé de réglage
Le procédé de commande selon l'invention consiste à :

  • déterminer des coordonnées d'au moins un cône d'éblouissement associé à une fenêtre et à une zone sensible à l'éblouissement placée à l'intérieur du bâtiment, ledit au moins cône d'éblouissement étant défini par d'une part un sommet positionné au niveau de la zone sensible et une courbe directrice superposée au périmètre de ladite au moins une fenêtre ;
  • déterminer l'orientation des rayons solaires directs, l'orientation desdits rayons étant définie par un azimut solaire et une élévation solaire ;
  • vérifier périodiquement si l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement prédéterminé ; la direction des rayons solaire étant parallèle avec l'une des directions comprises à l'intérieur du cône d'éblouissement et passant le sommet dudit cône ;
  • agir sur les moyens d'occultation associés à ladite au moins une fenêtre pour laquelle l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement.
The invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art, so as to propose a method of adjustment
The control method according to the invention consists of:
  • determining coordinates of at least one glare cone associated with a window and a glare-sensitive zone placed inside the building, said at least one glare cone being defined by on the one hand a vertex positioned at the sensitive area and a guide curve superimposed on the perimeter of said at least one window;
  • determine the orientation of the direct solar rays, the orientation of said rays being defined by a solar azimuth and a solar elevation;
  • periodically checking whether the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one predetermined glare cone; the direction of the solar rays being parallel with one of the directions included inside the glare cone and passing the apex of said cone;
  • act on the occultation means associated with said at least one window for which the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one glare cone.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le procédé de commande consiste à :

  • déterminer l'intensité lumineuse extérieure dans un environnement proche de ladite au moins une fenêtre à occulter,
  • comparer l'intensité lumineuse mesurée à un seuil d'occultation, et
  • agir sur les moyens d'occultation si le seuil d'occultation est dépassé.
According to a particular embodiment, the control method consists of:
  • determine the outdoor light intensity in an environment close to said at least one window to hide,
  • comparing the measured light intensity with an occultation threshold, and
  • act on the means of occultation if the threshold of occultation is exceeded.

Avantageusement, le procédé consiste agir sur les moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre adjacente à ladite au moins une fenêtre pour laquelle l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement.Advantageously, the method consists in acting on the means of occultation of at least one window adjacent to said at least one window for which the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one dazzle cone.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'UN MODE DE REALISATIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT

L'invention est relative à un procédé de commande individualisée et automatisée des moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre 1, 2 placée sur une façade d'un bâtiment.The invention relates to an individualized and automated control method for concealment means of at least one window 1, 2 placed on a facade of a building.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, à titre d'exemple d'application, le procédé de commande est adapté à la gestion de moyens d'occultation d'au moins deux fenêtres 1, 2 disposées sur une même façade de bâtiment et donnant accès à un volume intérieur.As shown on the figure 1 , As an example of application, the control method is adapted to the management of means for concealment of at least two windows 1, 2 arranged on the same building facade and giving access to an interior volume.

Dans chaque volume intérieur associé à au moins une fenêtre, est définie au moins une zone sensible S1, S2 à l'éblouissement. Une zone sensible à l'éblouissement se caractérise de manière théorique par un point. En pratique, comme représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, les zones sensibles S1, S2 à l'éblouissement se situent sensiblement au niveau des yeux des personnes placées dans le volume intérieur.In each interior volume associated with at least one window, is defined in less a sensitive area S1, S2 to glare. An area sensitive to glare is theoretically characterized by a dot. In practice, as represented on the Figures 1 to 3 , the sensitive areas S1, S2 to glare are located substantially in the eyes of people placed in the interior volume.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, à titre d'exemple d'application, sont représentées deux zones sensibles S1, S2 à l'éblouissement. Selon cet exemple, sont ainsi représentées deux personnes assises à leur bureau et les zones sensibles S1, S2 à l'éblouissement sont respectivement au niveau des yeux des dites personnes. Selon cet exemple, chaque personne peut ainsi être éblouie par les rayons solaires passant part l'une et/ou l'autre des deux fenêtres 1, 2.As shown on the figure 1 as an example of application, two sensitive areas S1, S2 are represented by glare. According to this example, are thus represented two people sitting at their desk and the sensitive areas S1, S2 glare are respectively at the eyes of said people. According to this example, each person can be dazzled by the sunlight passing one and / or the other of the two windows 1, 2.

Dans une première étape, le procédé selon l'invention consiste à déterminer des coordonnées d'au moins un cône d'éblouissement C1/1, C1/2, C2/1, C2/2 associé à une fenêtre 1, 2 et à une zone sensible S1, S2 à l'éblouissement placée à l'intérieur du bâtiment.In a first step, the method according to the invention consists in determining coordinates of at least one glare cone C1 / 1, C1 / 2, C2 / 1, C2 / 2 associated with a window 1, 2 and a sensitive area S1, S2 glare placed inside the building.

Comme représenté sur la figure 4, ledit cône d'éblouissement C1/1, C1/2, C2/1, C2/2 est défini d'une part par un sommet 4 positionné au niveau de la zone sensible et d'autre part par une courbe directrice 3 superposée au périmètre de ladite au moins une fenêtre 1, 2. Une génératrice 5 du cône passe alors par le sommet 4 du cône d'éblouissement et le centre d'une surface délimitée par la courbe génératrice 3. Selon ce mode de réalisation, la courbe directrice 3 du cône d'éblouissement est un rectangle.As shown on the figure 4 , said glare cone C1 / 1, C1 / 2, C2 / 1, C2 / 2 is defined on the one hand by a vertex 4 positioned at the sensitive zone and on the other hand by a guiding curve 3 superimposed on the perimeter of said at least one window 1, 2. A generator 5 of the cone then passes through the vertex 4 of the glare cone and the center of a surface delimited by the generating curve 3. According to this embodiment, the guide curve 3 of the glare cone is a rectangle.

Ledit cône d'éblouissement est alors défini par au moins un premier et un second axe directif A1 E1, A2E2.Said glare cone is then defined by at least a first and a second directional axis A1 E1, A2E2.

Ledit au moins un premier axe directif A1 E1 passe par le sommet 4 dudit cône et par d'un premier point géographique du périmètre de la fenêtre. Le premier axe directif A1 E1 est alors défini par un premier azimut A1 et une première élévation E1. A titre d'exemple d'application, le premier axe directif A1E1 passe de préférence par le sommet dudit cône et par un premier sommet du rectangle.Said at least one first directional axis A1 E1 passes through the vertex 4 of said cone and by a first geographical point of the perimeter of the window. The first directional axis A1 E1 is then defined by a first azimuth A1 and a first elevation E1. As an example of application, the first directional axis A1E1 preferably passes through the apex of said cone and a first vertex of the rectangle.

Ledit au moins un second axe directif A2E2 passe par le sommet 4 dudit cône et par un second point géographique du périmètre de la fenêtre. Le second axe directif A2E2 est alors défini par un second azimut A2 et une seconde orientation E2. A titre d'exemple d'application, le second axe directif A2E2 passe par le sommet dudit cône et par un second sommet du rectangle. Les premier et second sommets du rectangle ne sont pas consécutifs.Said at least one second directional axis A2E2 passes through the vertex 4 of said cone and by a second geographical point of the perimeter of the window. The second directional axis A2E2 is then defined by a second azimuth A2 and a second orientation E2. As an example of application, the second directional axis A2E2 passes through the apex of said cone and a second vertex of the rectangle. The first and second vertices of the rectangle are not consecutive.

Dans une seconde étape, le procédé selon l'invention consiste à déterminer l'orientation des rayons solaires directs. L'orientation desdits rayons est définie par un azimut solaire As et une élévation solaire Es. Comme représenté sur la figure 4, l'orientation des rayons solaires directs est représentée par un vecteur AsEs.In a second step, the method according to the invention consists in determining the orientation of the direct solar rays. The orientation of said rays is defined by a solar azimuth As and a solar elevation Es. As shown on the figure 4 the orientation of the direct solar rays is represented by an AsEs vector.

A titre d'exemple de réalisation, un capteur directif de lumière est positionné sur la façade du bâtiment. De préférence, le capteur directif est positionné au plus proches des fenêtres 1, 2 comportant les moyens d'occultation.As an exemplary embodiment, a directional light sensor is positioned on the facade of the building. Preferably, the directional sensor is positioned closer to the windows 1, 2 comprising the occulting means.

Les coordonnées azimut et élévation sont enregistrées périodiquement dans des moyens de mémorisation 102. La période d'enregistrement est paramétrable. A titre d'exemple de réalisation, les coordonnées azimut et élévation peuvent être évaluées toutes les minutes et enregistrées tous les quarts d'heure. Suite à un enregistrement, une évaluation de l'éblouissement peut être déclenchée.The azimuth and elevation coordinates are recorded periodically in storage means 102. The recording period is parameterizable. As an exemplary embodiment, the coordinates azimuth and elevation can be evaluated every minute and recorded every quarter of an hour. Following a recording, an evaluation of the glare can be triggered.

Dans une troisième étape, le procédé consiste à vérifier périodiquement si l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement prédéterminé.In a third step, the method consists of periodically checking whether the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one predetermined glare cone.

L'orientation des rayons solaires représentée par un vecteur AsEs est inscrite dans un cône d'éblouissement C1/1, C1/2, C2/1, C2/2 quand ledit vecteur AsEs est parallèle avec l'une des directions comprises à l'intérieur du cône d'éblouissement et passant par le sommet du cône.The orientation of the solar rays represented by a vector AsEs is inscribed in a glare cone C1 / 1, C1 / 2, C2 / 1, C2 / 2 when said vector AsEs is parallel with one of the directions included in the inside the cone of glare and passing through the top of the cone.

Le procédé consiste à agir sur les moyens d'occultation associés à ladite au moins une fenêtre pour laquelle l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement. L'action consiste à fermer lesdits moyens d'occultation.The method consists in acting on the occultation means associated with the at least one window for which the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one glare cone. The action consists of closing said occultation means.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, le procédé de commande consiste à commander en tension les moyens d'occultation comportant un verre de type électrochrome positionné dans l'embrassure de la fenêtre à occulter. Un verre de type électrochrome est un verre incluant un dispositif électrochimiquement actif réagissant chimiquement à l'application d'une alimentation électrique. La transmission optique d'un verre de type électrochrome est ainsi commandée électriquement.According to a preferred embodiment, the control method consists of voltage control the occultation means comprising an electrochromic type glass positioned in the embrace of the window to be obscured. An electrochromic type glass is a glass including an electrochemically active device chemically reactive to the application of a power supply. The optical transmission of an electrochromic type glass is thus electrically controlled.

Les moyens d'occultation agissent graduellement sur le verre de type électrochrome de manière à obscurcir ledit verre entre un seuil mini laissant passer un maximum de lumière et un seuil maxi laissant passer un minimum de lumière.The occulting means act gradually on the electrochromic type of glass so as to obscure said glass between a minimum threshold allowing a maximum of light to pass and a maximum threshold allowing a minimum of light to pass.

Selon un mode de développement particulier de l'invention, le procédé de commande consiste à déterminer l'intensité lumineuse extérieure dans un environnement proche de ladite au moins une fenêtre à occulter. L'intensité lumineuse mesurée est comparée à un seuil d'occultation Soc. Le seuil d'occultation Soc est paramétrable et est préalablement enregistré dans les moyens de mémorisation. Le seuil d'occultation Soc correspond à un seuil lumineux au-delà duquel il n'est plus nécessaire d'occulter le volume intérieur. Ainsi, si l'intensité lumineuse extérieure est inférieure au seuil d'occultation, le procédé consiste à agir sur les moyens d'occultation de manière à réduire le niveau d'occultation.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the control method consists in determining the external light intensity in an environment close to said at least one window to be obscured. The measured luminous intensity is compared with a concealment threshold Soc. The occultation threshold Soc is parameterizable and is previously stored in the storage means. The occultation threshold Soc corresponds to a light threshold beyond which it is no longer necessary to conceal the interior volume. Thus, if the external light intensity is below the occultation threshold, the method consists in acting on the occultation means so as to reduce the level of occultation.

Selon un mode de développement de l'invention, le procédé de commande consiste à la fois à déterminer l'intensité lumineuse extérieure dans un environnement proche de ladite au moins une fenêtre à occulter et à déterminer l'intensité lumineuse à l'intérieur du volume intérieur. L'action sur les moyens d'occultation est alors dépendante de trois paramètres : l'intensité lumineuse extérieure, l'intensité lumineuse intérieure et de l'orientation des rayons solaires. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le procédé de commande permet d'agir sur les moyens d'occultation de manière à ce que l'intensité lumineuse dans le volume intérieur soit constante.According to a development mode of the invention, the control method consists both in determining the external light intensity in an environment close to said at least one window to be obscured and in determining the light intensity inside the volume. inside. The action on the means of occultation is then dependent on three parameters: the external luminous intensity, the interior luminous intensity and the orientation of the solar rays. According to this embodiment, the control method makes it possible to act on the concealment means so that the luminous intensity in the interior volume is constant.

Selon une variante de développement, le procédé de commande consiste agir sur les moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre adjacente à ladite au moins une fenêtre pour laquelle l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans au moins un cône d'éblouissement.According to a variant of development, the control method consists in acting on the means of occultation of at least one window adjacent to said at least one a window for which the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in at least one glare cone.

Le procédé de commande selon l'invention consiste à convertir l'ensemble des coordonnées dans un même repère spatial pour exprimer les coordonnées des directions du cône d'éblouissement, de l'azimut As et de l'élévation Es solaire dans un repère absolu ou relatif. A titre d'exemple, les coordonnées sont converties dans un repère absolu où par exemple le nord correspond à 0 degré pour l'azimut et l'horizontal correspond au 0 degré pour l'élévation. Selon un second exemple de réalisation, les coordonnées sont converties dans un repère relatif à une des fenêtres où la direction perpendiculaire à la fenêtre correspond à 0° d'azimut et 0° d'élévation.The control method according to the invention consists in converting the set of coordinates in the same spatial coordinate system to express the coordinates of the directions of the glare cone, the azimuth As and the solar elevation Es in an absolute reference frame or relative. For example, the coordinates are converted into an absolute coordinate system where for example the north corresponds to 0 degrees for the azimuth and the horizontal corresponds to 0 degrees for the elevation. According to a second exemplary embodiment, the coordinates are converted into a reference relative to one of the windows where the direction perpendicular to the window corresponds to 0 ° of azimuth and 0 ° of elevation.

A titre d'exemple d'application du procédé de commande individualisée selon l'invention, les figures 1 à 3 représentent respectivement une scène dans laquelle est schématisé un volume intérieur d'un bâtiment éclairé par le soleil à trois moments d'une journée. Le volume intérieur comprend deux postes de travail ayant respectivement une zone sensible S1, S2 à l'éblouissement positionnée au niveau des yeux d'une personne présente sur le poste de travail. Les rayons solaires rentrent dans le volume intérieur à travers deux fenêtres 1, 2. Selon cette configuration, le procédé de commande est apte à définir deux cônes d'éblouissement par zone sensible à l'éblouissement.

  • Un premier cône C1/1 associé à la première fenêtre et à une première zone sensible S1 à l'éblouissement ;
  • Un second cône C2/1 associé à la seconde fenêtre et à la première zone sensible S1 à l'éblouissement ;
  • Un troisième cône C1/2 associé à la première fenêtre et à la seconde zone sensible S2 à l'éblouissement ;
  • Un quatrième cône C2/2 associé à la seconde fenêtre et à une seconde zone sensible S2 à l'éblouissement.
As an example of application of the individualized control method according to the invention, the Figures 1 to 3 respectively represent a scene in which is schematized an interior volume of a building lit by the sun at three times a day. The interior volume comprises two workstations respectively having a sensitive area S1, S2 to the glare positioned at the level of the eyes of a person present on the workstation. The solar rays enter the interior volume through two windows 1, 2. According to this configuration, the control method is able to define two glare cones per area sensitive to glare.
  • A first cone C1 / 1 associated with the first window and a first sensitive area S1 to glare;
  • A second cone C2 / 1 associated with the second window and the first sensitive area S1 to glare;
  • A third cone C1 / 2 associated with the first window and the second sensitive area S2 to glare;
  • A fourth cone C2 / 2 associated with the second window and a second sensitive area S2 glare.

Au cours d'une journée d'ensoleillement, en fonction du déplacement du soleil par rapport à la façade d'un bâtiment, le procédé de commande individualisée et automatisée va successivement agir sur les moyens d'occultation de la fenêtre 1 et/ou de la fenêtre 2.

  • Comme représenté sur la figure 1, l'orientation des rayons solaires directs, représentée par le vecteur AsEs est parallèle avec une direction comprise à l'intérieur du troisième cône C2/1 d'éblouissement et passant par le sommet dudit cône. Autrement dit, l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite uniquement dans le troisième cône C2/1 d'éblouissement. Ainsi, compte tenu que la seconde zone sensible S2 est soumise à un éblouissement, l'ensemble de commande 100 agit sur les moyens d'occultation associés à la première fenêtre 1 afin de réduire ou supprimer l'entrée du rayonnement lumineux externe.
  • Comme représenté sur la figure 2, l'orientation des rayons solaires directs, représentée par les vecteurs AsEs est parallèle à la fois
    • avec une direction comprise à l'intérieur du premier cône C1/1 et passant par le sommet dudit cône, et
    • avec une direction comprise à l'intérieur du quatrième cône C2/2 d'éblouissement et passant par le sommet dudit cône. Autrement dit, l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite à la fois dans le premier et le quatrième cône d'éblouissement.
    Ainsi, compte tenu que les première et seconde zones sensibles S1, S2 sont soumises à un éblouissement, l'ensemble de commande 100 agit sur les moyens d'occultation associés aux deux fenêtres 1, 2 afin de réduire ou supprimer l'entrée du rayonnement lumineux externe.
  • Comme représenté sur la figure 3, l'orientation des rayons solaires directs, représentée par le vecteur AsEs est parallèle avec une des directions comprises à l'intérieur du deuxième du cône C1/2 d'éblouissement et passant par le sommet dudit cône. Autrement dit, l'orientation des rayons solaires est inscrite dans le deuxième cône d'éblouissement Ainsi, compte tenu que la seconde zone sensible S2 est soumise à un éblouissement, l'ensemble de commande 100 agit sur les moyens d'occultation associés à la seconde fenêtre 2 afin de réduire ou supprimer l'entrée du rayonnement lumineux externe.
During a day of sunshine, depending on the movement of the sun relative to the facade of a building, the individualized and automated control method will successively act on the concealment means of the window 1 and / or the window 2.
  • As shown on the figure 1 the orientation of the direct solar rays, represented by the vector AsEs, is parallel with a direction comprised inside the third cone C2 / 1 of glare and passing through the apex of said cone. In other words, the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed only in the third cone C2 / 1 dazzle. Thus, since the second sensitive area S2 is subject to glare, the control unit 100 acts on the concealment means associated with the first window 1 to reduce or eliminate the input of the external light radiation.
  • As shown on the figure 2 , the orientation of direct solar rays, represented by AsEs vectors is parallel to both
    • with a direction included inside the first cone C1 / 1 and passing through the apex of said cone, and
    • with a direction included within the fourth cone C2 / 2 dazzling and passing through the apex of said cone. In other words, the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in both the first and the fourth glare cone.
    Thus, considering that the first and second sensitive areas S1, S2 are subject to glare, the control unit 100 acts on the concealment means associated with the two windows 1, 2 in order to reduce or eliminate the radiation input. external light.
  • As shown on the figure 3 the orientation of the direct solar rays, represented by the vector AsEs, is parallel with one of the directions lying inside the second of the cone C1 / 2 of glare and passing through the apex of said cone. In other words, the orientation of the solar rays is inscribed in the second glare cone. Thus, since the second sensitive zone S2 is subjected to glare, the control unit 100 acts on the occulting means associated with the second window 2 in order to reduce or eliminate the input of the external light radiation.

L'invention est aussi relative à un ensemble de commande 100 individualisée et automatisée des moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre 1, 2 d'un bâtiment pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé tel que défini ci-dessus.The invention also relates to an individualized and automated control assembly 100 of means for concealing at least one window 1, 2 of a building for implementing the method as defined above.

Ledit ensemble comprend en outre une unité de commande comprenant un contrôleur 101 relié aux moyens d'occultation d'au moins une fenêtre 1, 2 et étant aptes à délivrer des ordres de commande aux dits moyens. L'unité de commande comporte des moyens de mémorisation stockant des programmes aptes à commander la transmission des ordres de commande en fonction des valeurs représentatives d'éblouissement fournies par le capteur d'éblouissement.The individualized and automated control assembly includes an exterior and / or interior glare sensor to provide a representative glare value within the room. Said assembly further comprises a control unit comprising a controller 101 connected to the concealment means of at least one window 1, 2 and being able to issue control commands to said means. The control unit comprises storage means storing programs able to control the transmission of the control commands as a function of the representative glare values provided by the glare sensor.

De préférence, le capteur d'éblouissement fournit une valeur représentative de l'éblouissement au niveau d'une zone sensible à l'éblouissement placée à l'intérieur du bâtiment.Preferably, the glare sensor provides a representative value of glare at a glare sensitive area within the building.
