[EnergyPlus_Support] Fanger's PMV Calculation May Not Be Correct

["hannahyan <hannahyan@xxxxxxxxx>" <hannahyan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found there is a pretty constant difference between Fanger's PMV 
calculated by E+ and PMV calculated by ASHRAE's software COMFORT(RP-
781). I let E+ output air temp, MRT and humidity and obtained air 
velocity, human clothing and activity level from IDF file and put 
these numbers into COMFORT, the comfort index values such as PMV and 
TSENS are different significantly.  For PMV, E+ is always half scale 
higher. 

Can somebody check this problem?
