Claim:
1. An apparatus for automatically configuring a reference sensor, the apparatus comprising: an information input unit to receive input of information on a building in which a building energy management system (BEMS) is to be built, information on a reference sensor used to build the BEMS, and information on a budget allocated for building the BEMS; a sensor disposition unit to calculate a position at which the reference sensor is to be disposed in the building based on the input information on the building, the reference sensor, and the allocated budget, and determine a position at which a next sensor is to be disposed in four directions on a plane based on the calculated position at which the reference sensor is to be disposed; and a user interface unit to display the position at which the reference sensor is to be disposed, wherein the sensor disposition unit comprises: an entire region sensor disposition calculation module to calculate the position at which a sensor is to be disposed in an entire region of the building based on the input information on the building and the information on the reference sensor; and a budget reflected sensor disposition position calculation module to calculate the disposed position for the sensor in the building based on the input information on the building, the information on the reference sensor, and the information on the allocated budget.
