Selection of the category for the exchange process. Entries are available per category for the respective active module and the selected structure level. In the Rooms category, you can filter by room parameters such as room type, volume flow rates or room temperatures. In the Room components (walls, windows, etc.) category component parameters such as U-value, thermal bridge supplement or orientation are available for selection. In the Radiator category can be filtered by reduced capacity. Next to the drop-down list is the structure level at which the modifications will be made.
