modification of output variable operative temperature

Hi guys,

I am wondering if there is a possibility to modify an output variable, in my case Zone Operative Temperature. EnergyPlus 8.4 uses the standard calculation for

Operative Temperature = 0.5 * Mean Radiant Temperature + 0.5 * Mean Air Temperature

For calibration purposes I am interested to lower the radiative fraction in the equation and obtain a different operative temperature. Is there any way to do that in EnergyPlus?

Thank you very much, Sören
