Location = Libraries/Location Specific/Costs
Reminder: Ways to View Properties and Values
Select a previously defined Library Entry from the active Library
Select a combination of Type and Sub Type to create a new Library Entry
Each Type in the Type and Sub Type table contains a section that displays a screenshot of the Property Values Table showing the properties associated with the Type and Sub Type. In the case where the Sub Types have the same properties only one example of the Property Values table is shown. See Property Values Table to learn about how to interact with the table.
The Type and Sub Type options that can be selected from the drop down lists in that area of the workspace, which filter the Source Library to display the variables the user can select to include, along with a value, in a Library Entry.
Note: The links within the table are to the EnergyPlus Input Output Reference and the explanations of the objects.

Each Sub Type has a set of properties associated with it that allow the user to either enter text, numeric values, select from a drop down list that is tied to other libraries or a combination of text/numeric value entry and selection from drop down list. In a majority of cases the properties displayed in the Property Values Table are the same as in EnergyPlus, so links are provided to the descriptions within the EnergyPlus documentation as well.
