How to set the thermostat temperature of a zone according to the PMV range of -0,5 and 0,5?

Hi,

In order to Achieve such goal , I use to set the HVAC system and thermostat Set the temperature to 23 ° C. So , I run the simulation and in the end I plot the graph for each PMV Evaluated zone And Then , I simply check if the PMV is lower than 0.5 and greater than -0.5 . If it did not happen , I change the set point temperature of the thermostat According to the PMV values ​​shown in graph Until the PMV value lies between the range of 0.5 to 0.5 . I was checking at Energyplus references and I saw two topics that I judge que be important in order to have as an output the ideal temperature to set my system, based on the PMV analysis : " Zone Control : Thermostat : Thermalconfort " and " ThermostatSetpoint : ThermalConforft : Fanger : DualSetpoint " . The problem is: I do not know how to apply them in my model and not need checking zone by zone and also having to change the the thermostat temperature when the PMV of the zone is out of the limits of the acceptable range ( between - 0.5 and 0.5).

Thanks guys.
