# Configure Tenant Defaults

The tenant configuration defines the default base temperatures available for assets. An asset-specific base temperature overrides the tenant default for that asset.

Before you begin, [open Heating and Cooling Days](/collection/platform/platform-core/baseline-and-factors/heating-and-cooling-days/open-heating-and-cooling-days.md).

## Configuration Fields

<table data-header-hidden data-search="false"><thead><tr><th width="55.51995849609375">Marking</th><th width="185">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>[1]</strong></td><td><strong>Heating days base temperature</strong></td><td>Default reference temperature used to calculate Heating Degree Days.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[2]</strong></td><td><strong>Cooling days base temperature</strong></td><td>Default reference temperature used to calculate Cooling Degree Days.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[3]</strong></td><td><strong>Heating days unit</strong></td><td>Unit for the heating base temperature: <strong>°C</strong> or <strong>°F</strong>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[4]</strong></td><td><strong>Cooling days unit</strong></td><td>Unit for the cooling base temperature: <strong>°C</strong> or <strong>°F</strong>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Configure Default Base Temperatures

1. Enter the default Heating Days base temperature under **\[1]** and select its unit under **\[3]**.
2. Enter the default Cooling Days base temperature under **\[2]** and select its unit under **\[4]**.
3. Click on **Save**.

These values are presets. When Heating Days or Cooling Days is enabled for an asset, its base temperature is initially filled from the tenant configuration. You can then retain the default or enter an asset-specific value.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/platform-core/baseline-and-factors/heating-and-cooling-days/configure-tenant-defaults.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
