PET instead of adaptive thermal comfort

Hello everyone.
I am trying to understand a thermal comfort of a passive residence and performed the energy simulation using honeybee. We have adaptive thermal micro climate comfort recipe in honeybee to understand the adaptive comfort range of the occupant which doesn’t consider humidity as a parameter.
I just want to ask is it correct to use PET micro climate recipie to analyse indoor occupant comfort for passive building as PET considers various parameters including humidity. Is PET feasible for indoor comfort?

Thank you

Even though the adaptive model doesn’t take relative humidity into account, it is valid for indoor thermal comfort assessment in free-running and passive buildings and is being used in similar studies.

However, According to this paper, PET is as valid for indoor thermal comfort studies.

@Nimafo thanks for the clearification. Therefore PET can be used for detailed thermal behaviour of occupant comfort for research.
