Can PPD be directly generated by the program in Design Builder?
I make a report on thermal comfort and i need PPD and PMV, but i can not find PPD in DesignBuilder.

DesignBuilder shows only the PMV values in outputs. For the PPD values you'll have to use "DesignBuilder Result Viewer" - it is free and you can find it on their website https://www.designbuilder.co.uk/downl...
First make sure that "Fanger" output is selected before running the simulation (Calculation Options/ Output tab/ Comfort and Environmental). Then go to Tools/ View EnergyPlus Results, copy the "eplusout.eso" file in another folder and open it with Result Viewer. You'll se PPD outputs somewhere in the left panel (you can export them in a spreadsheet and play with the results).
Thank you for your prompt reply i really appreciate it!
Just to let other users know that its is now possible to get PMV and PPD values directly from DesignBuilder v6 interface.
