How to measure heating degree day (HDD) and cooling degree day (CDD) for a building

I need am not very much familiar with EnergyPlus simulation. Recently, I have developed a PCM based gypsum board for building envelope applications, i.e., wall, ceilings and floor. I also modeled a 4X4X3.5 m building room for measuring the indoor thermal environments, number of comfortable hours monthly/yearly with range 18 to measure the 26 °C, HDD and CDD for a building. What's with and without use of my developed gypsum board in Wall and Ceiling. I can measure indoor temperature and energy consumption, but I cann't measure the comfortable hours, HDD and CDD.What's the output variable for measurement the HDD and CDD?these?
