[EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal Comfort Calculations

["Ian Doebber" <ian.doebber@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a repeat issue from a couple weeks ago.  We used the ASHRAE
comfort program to compare the PMV versus E+ Version 103 and 122.
Version 103 and ASHRAE comfort almost perfectly match and follow common
sense.  Version 122 is much higher and is predicting that the people are
warm when the others predict that they should be slightly cold which
makes more sense.  From previous emails, it seems that the current
version corrected the older versions for PMV calculation and will now be
~0.5-0.7 larger. If you would like, we can send you particular data and
comparisons that may help in the trouble shooting.
