Dear JV,

I noticed this. I also report "Setpoint Not Met While Occupied". The result is 0 hour. However,
I'm not sure if "Variable: Time Not Met Comfortable" is related with "Variable: Setpoint Not Met While Occupied". Of course, they are related sometimes, but not all the case. If they are identical in E+, as you indicated, "Variable: Time Not Met Comfortable" should be 0 since my "Setpoint Not Met While Occupied" is 0 hour.

Thanks,

Bing

Dear Bing,

Check p. 954 in the IO Reference: That report variable is keyed to the "People" object (occupancy) only when you use the variable "...Setpoint Not Met While Occupied", and it looks for instances where the room temp varies from the setpoint by more than .2C.

If you don't use the ".. While Occupied" version of the report variable, occupancy is not checked.
