E+ PMV-PPD calculation mismatch

hi all!

Currently i'm investigating the PMV-PPD outputs of a DesignBuilder simulation. I exported the hourly PMV-PPD values and the ones which correstpond them (air temperature, radiant temperature, air velocity (0,137), rel.humidity, metabolic rate, clo value) When i calculate the PMV values from the 6 variables in excel i get more than 60% differnce between my calculation and the DB (e+) calculation.

Can anyone help me finding the reason of the difference? Have anyone faced this problem before?

thanks a lot, Peter
