Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Standard vs. Daylight Saving Time

The reported times in the csv output files are always in standard time.  
Daylight savings shifts schedule values by 1 hour when daylight savings is 
active.  Add REPORT VARIABLE "Daylight Saving Time Indicator" to your output to 
confirm operation of daylight savings.  If it is always zero, then check that 
the daylight savings option in the RunPeriod object is set and that the 
specifications in the weather file are correct.  When the daylight saving time 
indicator is 1, you should see a shift in scheduled values such as internal 
loads profiles and thermostat settings.
