[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: criterion of comfort

Thanks for your suggestion. With the thermal comfort model for the people object I can get a variable value for each zone or zonelist, right? 

What I really want is a value for an annual summary of the whole building like unmet hours or uncomfortable hours. I think the ASHRAE 55-2004 is a good model for me, but the range of comfort from ASHRAE 55-2004 is a bit too small, can I creat my own comfort value, and let EnergyPlus make a output of time not comfortable? 

Thanks!
