[EnergyPlus_Support] EnergyPlus Holidays

["Andy Tindale" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone explain why the data :

RunPeriod,
   12,20,
   12,30,
   UseWeatherFile,
   No,                  ! Use weather file holidays/special day periods
   Yes,
   Yes,
   Yes,
   Yes,
   1;

SpecialDayPeriod, Christmas, December 25, 1, Holiday;

...seems to result in December 26 instead of December 25 being simulated as a
holiday.

The simulation period is from December 20 2003 to December 30 2003 when December
25 is a Thursday.

The other strange behaviour I am getting is when defining two consecutive single
day holidays:

SpecialDayPeriod, Christmas, December 25, 1, Holiday;
SpecialDayPeriod, Boxing day, December 26, 1, Holiday;

I get a warning:

** Warning ** Special Day definition (BOXING DAY) is overwriting previously
entered special day period

Thanks
Andy Tindale
