Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Time not Comfortable Definition

[Richard Raustad <RRaustad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a very good description in the IO Reference:

For Time not Comfortable Summer Clothes (Hours) the definition is:
The time when the zone is occupied that the combination of humidity 
ratio and operative temperature is not in the ASHRAE 55-2004 summer 
clothes region (see above)

This means that the humidity ratio and temperature outside the range of 
the ASHRAE summer comfort zone. For winter the the meaning is similar. 
For both, the zone conditions are outside the range of both ranges.

See the definitions under the section Simplified ASHRAE 55-2004 Graph 
Related Outputs in the IO Reference.
