ASHRAE 55 Adaptive thermal comfort status results

Hello everyone. I am using OpenStudio and I am applying the adaptive thermal comfort from ASHRAE 55. First, I selected this model in the “People definition” in the “Loads” tab, and then, I chose in the “output variables” tab the variables related to this thermal comfort model, such as “Zone thermal comfort ASHRAE 55 adaptive model 80% acceptability status”, “Zone thermal comfort ASHRAE 55 adaptive model 90% acceptability status”, Zone thermal comfort ASHRAE 55 adaptive model running average outdoor air temperature”, and “Zone thermal comfort ASHRAE 55 adaptive model temperature”. When I run the model, I can appreciate in the DVIEW time series graph, the running average outdoor air temperature and the adaptative model temperature. However, I couldn’t find the 80% o 90% acceptability status, which according to the energy plus’s reference document, it can have a value of 1, 0, or -1. I have looked for this results in other places, since I think it could be associated to a csv file, but I haven’t able to find it. Searching in the “Energy Plus results” and in the “Adaptive comfort summary” I found that my model have a “0” for “time not meeting the adaptive comfort model during occupied hours”. However, it is appreciable in the time series graph that for some hours in a day the operative temperature is out from the range of +/-3.5°C from the “adaptive model temperature”. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong to get no hour out of the adaptative comfort model and I would like to know where I can find results from the acceptability status. I greatly appreciate any help about it.
