Defaults Manager

Used to set default data for weather information, building types, room constructions, project file paths, simulation information, window information, and plant sizing data. Defaults can be saved for both the application and the project. Application defaults affect your overall OpenBuildings Energy Simulator environment, and Project defaults affect only active projects.
