Elevator group control method for the allocation of landing calls, in which method a target value of service time is assigned to a given service time of the elevator group and landing calls are so allocated to elevators that the assigned target value of service time is realized on the average, the energy consumption of the elevator group being thereby reduced, characterised in that the elevator routes are so selected that a cost term J=W T ·T N (R) +W E ·E N (R) is minimized, where T N (R) is a normalized sum of call times for route alternative R, and E N (R) is a normalized energy consumption resulting from selecting route alternative R, and W T and W E are weighting coefficients of T N (R) and E N (R) such that 0 < W T < 1 and W E = 1-W T , whereby W T and W E are determined via integration by a controller by using only the integrating block of the three possible PID controller blocks, in which the actual service time is compared to the target value of service time and an error between these is integrated, wherein an integration time constant is selected long enough to ensure that an individual noisy measurement of the actual service time cannot have too strong an effect on a control signal u but is selected still short enough to ensure that the elevator group will react to changes occurring in traffic type and intensity, the control signal u, which is obtained from the controller and by means of which the operation of the elevator group can be directed appropriately so that the error is eliminated, is converted into the weighting coefficient for service time optimisation W T =1-W E .
