I would suggest getting a copy of ASHRAE standard 55 and comparing your spreadsheet calculations to the sample calculations in the appendix. This questioning of EnergyPlus's PMV calculations has come up many times over the years and they have been checked and rechecked again and again. Note that the averaging when using hourly values may be misleading -- it is better to use timestep frequency data.
