International Classification:

G06F 3/048
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

715738

Abstract:

A system generates an output identifying components for a building. Each of the components having one of a plurality of types, and is defined by a plurality of specifications. The system includes a network interface, a computer system memory, and a processing circuit. The network interface receives a selection tool from a network. The computer system memory stores the selection tool. The processing circuit executes the selection tool to: open a multi-window display that includes a schedule window, a product type select window, and a product window. A menu of graphic elements is displayed, each graphic element representative of a product type. A user input selects a graphic element from the menu, and the graphic element then appears in the product type select window. A component database is filtered to identify components having a component type corresponding to the graphic element. A list of those components is displayed.

Abstract:

A method generates an output identifying components for a system, each of the components having one of a plurality of types, each of the components defined by a plurality of specifications. The method includes employing a network interface to receive a selection tool into a computer system memory. The method further includes executing the selection tool on a processing device to: open a multi-window display that includes a schedule window, a product type select window, and a product window; display a menu of a plurality of graphic elements; receive a user input selecting a first graphic element from the menu; update the multi-window display to display the menu of the plurality of graphic elements without the first graphic element and to display the first graphic element in the product type select window; and filter a component database to identify components having a component type corresponding to the first graphic element.
