The table below lists the default space types in Sefaira and which HVAC system is attributed to them.
We've tried to select systems that are most commonly used for that building type in that location.
After you've uploaded the project you can change the HVAC system. If you change the space type the HVAC system will not change - this is only checked at project creation.

hi, can you help me answer my doubt regarding the building type selection in Sefaira? There is only one shortlisted building typology, which is no hotel building type. So, please advise me on how to handle such a case when there is no certain category in the building type selection in the Sefeira default.
