I would like to evaluate the indoor comfort with OpenStudio. In particular I should evaluate the PMV index and the discomfort hrs (unmet load hours).
Is It possible with OpenStudio? Or do I have to use EnergyPlus? How should I do it?
In OpenStudio unmet load hours can be found in the EnergyPlus results at the end of the System Summary section (use Outdoor Air Summary hyperlink instead). There's also a nice measure to troubleshoot unmet load hours.
Results Summary tab > Reports > EnergyPlus Results
PMV can be added using the Predicted Mean Vote measure.
thanks these are the results that i can see. C:\fakepath\Untitled.png
the values within the last table are all zero. Why? are there no "unmet hours" ? is it possible I have forgot some settings?
If your HVAC system is autosized then the unmet hours are commonly very low.
Or in your case it looks like you're using ideal air loads.
