PMV result unreasonable

Dear openstudio users, I made a PMV calculation but i found the result is strange. Is the Openstudio simulation use the following parameters calculated by itself: relative humidity? The three following parameters are only input : met, clo, air velocity, right? I trust the temperatures simulated are used as input for PMV, but ususally the humidity is a not well simulated by the energy simulation software. So here below are some datas, time Tair Trad RH PMV Vair Clo Act 168 11.2894 15.6 99.7439 -1.47067 0.2 1 132 169 11.2417 15.6 99.3457 -1.47584 0.2 1 132 170 11.2072 15.6 99.0613 -1.47957 0.2 1 132 171 11.1248 15.6 99.0613 -1.48591 0.2 1 132 172 11.0491 15.6 99.0613 -1.49172 0.2 1 132 173 11.0257 15.6 99.0613 -1.49352 0.2 1 132 174 10.9931 15.6 99.0613 -1.49603 0.2 1 132 175 10.9545 15.6 99.0613 -1.49899 0.2 1 132 176 10.9485 15.6 99.0613 -1.49945 0.2 1 132 177 10.985 15.6 99.0613 -1.49665 0.2 1 132 178 11.0486 15.6 99.0613 -1.49177 0.2 1 132 179 11.1266 15.6 99.0613 -1.48577 0.2 1 132 180 11.2503 15.6 99.0613 -1.47626 0.2 1 132 181 11.5025 15.6 99.0613 -1.45682 0.2 1 132 182 11.8855 15.6 99.0613 -1.42721 0.2 1 132 183 12.4652 15.6 99.0613 -1.38217 0.2 1 132 184 13.1542 15.6 99.0613 -1.32833 0.2 1 132 185 13.1491 15.6 99.0613 -1.32874 0.2 1 132 186 12.9445 15.6 99.0613 -1.34476 0.2 1 132 187 12.8087 15.6 99.0613 -1.35539 0.2 1 132 188 12.7053 15.6 99.0613 -1.36346 0.2 1 132 189 12.5565 15.6 99.0613 -1.37507 0.2 1 132 190 12.3946 15.6 99.0613 -1.38768 0.2 1 132 191 12.2673 15.6 99.0613 -1.39758 0.2 1 132 192 12.1331 15.6 99.0613 -1.40801 0.2 1 132 193 12.0128 15.6 98.9418 -1.4178 0.2 1 132 194 11.8497 15.6 98.8565 -1.43076 0.2 1 132 195 11.6789 15.6 98.8565 -1.44398 0.2 1 132 196 11.5438 15.6 98.8565 -1.45441 0.2 1 132 197 11.4461 15.6 98.8565 -1.46195 0.2 1 132 198 11.3436 15.6 98.8565 -1.46984 0.2 1 132 199 12.7056 21.0565 70.2067 -0.815927 0.2 1 132 200 13.6732 21 70.4359 -0.638317 0.2 1 132 201 14.3066 21 91.9409 -4.31668 0.2 1 132 202 14.6009 21 100 -4.22444 0.2 1 132 203 14.8366 21 100 -4.20827 0.2 1 132 204 15.4541 21 100 -4.15904 0.2 1 132 205 16.2005 21 100 -0.280145 0.2 1 132 206 17.641 22.0184 100 -3.86796 0.2 1 132 207 18.9297 23.2094 100 -3.56165 0.2 1 132 208 19.5739 23.8093 100 -3.39952 0.2 1 132 209 19.1935 23.0002 100 -1.44987 0.2 1 132 210 18.5956 22.2297 100 -1.63218 0.2 1 132 211 17.7543 21.0273 95.769 -0.142159 0.2 1 132 212 17.2777 21 95.0576 -0.218759 0.2 1 132 213 17.0071 21 95.0545 -0.241276 0.2 1 132 214 16.6535 21 95.0545 -0.269477 0.2 1 132 215 15.5103 17.2481 99.9145 -0.770658 0.2 1 132 216 14.0753 15.6 97.6691 -1.25541 0.2 1 132
