I am not sure whether the discomfort hours are working because in the attached file I have an operative temp of over 29 which should be uncomfortable in summer or winter clothing but is only shown as being uncomfortable in winter clothing whereas it should be uncomfortable in all clothing. This would also be the reason that there is no line for discomfort hours in all clothing. I am using 1 for winter clothing and 0.5 for summer clothing.

I have now looked at the eplus output directly and find that eplus does report correctly and DB does pick up the winter clothing and summer clothing discomfort hours (one line must be hidden behind the other on the graph so you need to look at the grid). However, DB is not picking up the all clothing discomfort hours from eplus in the grid.

Thanks for reporting this, "all clothing discomfort hours" will be correctly reported in version 1.2.0.042 and subsequent.
