Claim:
1. A method for determining regions of influence of a plurality of fluid moving devices in an infrastructure, said method comprising: collecting fluid supply data pertaining to an environmental condition of the fluid at respective outlets of each of the plurality of fluid moving devices; collecting sensor data from a plurality of sensors pertaining to an environmental condition of the fluid detected at positions distanced from the plurality of fluid moving devices; computing a correlation metric-based value for each of the plurality of sensors with respect to each of a plurality of fluid supply conditions over a predetermined time series during which the plurality of fluid moving devices are not put through a commissioning process in which each of the plurality of fluid moving devices are individually manipulated to identify correlations between the plurality of fluid moving devices and the plurality of sensors; generating, in a computing device, a plurality of clusters through implementation of a clustering operation on the correlation metric-based values, wherein each of the plurality of clusters contains a representation of the fluid supply data and the sensor data of one or more of the plurality of sensors; and identifying regions of influence of each of the plurality of fluid moving devices from an analysis of the generated clusters.
