Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Strange Dates in Daylighting Map

["Abeer M. Eisa" <abeermme@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again,
  Re weather files; when trying to manually change the time zone to 2 in the ETMY file and using it, this yielded in different (less required sensible cooling) from the results when using the IWEC file, ?? 
  Any possible reasons? isn't the onnly difference the time zone value?
  Thank you
  Abeer

          The "strange dates" in the Daylighting Map were not produced by 
EnergyPlus. Rather it is after you read the file with Excel. (Other 
spreadsheet programs may be similar -- I didn't try them).

As it turns out, the fix is rather simple. I noticed that our 
"regular" csv files did not have the same problem. Because there is 
a space in front of the date string (i.e. " 1/01" rather than 
"1/01"). So, the Map file will use that convention and the inserting 
of years (and getting confused by regional date settings) won't occur 
in the next release.

Thanks for pointing this out.
