Actually the "rest" are calculated values that result from the overall
simulation of conditions in the zone for each time step.  There are no
separate objects for inputs to the various comfort models.  They are
simply triggered to calculate (or not) by what you enter in the People
object.

Thanks to Brent Griffith and Linda for the kind responses. 

Correct me if i am wrong, some of these variables (personal, 
environmental or physiological) are taken into account by EnergyPlus 
in four schedules - Activity Level Schedule, Work Efficiency Schedule, 
Clothing Schedule and Air Velocity Schedule. The rest are entered 
directly into the fields of their respective objects. There are three 
of these objects, Fanger, Pierce and KSU (named after the researchers 
or place of research) that EnergyPlus has made available for users to 
pick as their definition of comfort.
