How to set Heating Design Temperature

I am running a set of simulations using buildstock-batch, and would like to 'fix' the heating design temperature at 5°F to be the same for all the models.

It is to my understanding that the default method with the supplied weather data calculates the 99% bulb temperature threshold and sizes the HVAC system accordingly. I am able to see the calculated design temperature in the "in.xml" file for each model, but do not see how I can set it in the workflow_generator YML specification file?

In the Openstudio-HPXML documentation I can see the parameter here. But I do not know how to alter it.

Your help is very much appreciated!
