In EnergyPlus, the change is made by replacing the ZoneControl:Thermostat objects with ZoneControl:Thermostat:ThermalComfort objects, which will in turn reference a ThermostatSetpoint:ThermalComfort:DualSetpoint and some schedules. The setpoint schedules have PMV values.
It is a pretty slick control feature and a lot easier than adjusting temperature thermostats. But if the radiative scene is not comfortable (e.g. large cold or hot window surfaces) then the resulting drybulb temperatures can get a little wild.
