<h2>Use of “default” and grouping<a class="headerlink" href="#use-of-default-and-grouping" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>When making changes to an input file, for example <strong>energy_need_improvements</strong>, you can use aggregated
commands instead of specifying each individual <em>building category</em>, <em>building code</em> and <em>purpose</em>. The common aggregated
command is <strong>default</strong>. When <strong>default</strong> is input the model chooses all valid options. For example <strong>default</strong>
building code means all building codes.</p>
<p><em>Building category</em> has two additional groups: <strong>residential</strong> and
<strong>non-residental</strong> where <strong>residential</strong> consists of houses and apartment blocks, and <strong>non-residential</strong> are the other
building groups. In the input constraint overview these aggregated groups are specified when available.</p>
