On a windows machine when running the denver demo for the first time in a conda environment, the output directory gets set to the resource directory where hive is installed, i.e. C:\Users\username\.conda\envs\hive\Lib\site-packages\nrel\hive\resources\scenarios\denver_downtown. That might be a bit confusing to new users and so it might make sense to set the default to something like the home directory instead.
