Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Question about "People" object?

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

EnergyPlus does not limit thermal comfort results to the standard reporting 
ranges.  If -4 indicates that people are cold, then -9 indicates that they are 
very very cold.  Report the values for Mean Air Temperature and Mean Radiant 
Temperature in the zone.  If these values are reasonable, then check the inputs 
in the Poeple object.
