[TRNSYS-users] Definition of the Time<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Trnsys users</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking for the definition of the time used
in the Meteo files and its relation with the solar time</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I supposed it is the Local Standard Time =
Apparent Solar Time - Equation of Time - (Local Standard Time Meridian° -
Local Longitude°)/15 with the longitude increasing to West.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems, after some tests,
that the Trnsys do not take in consideration the daylight
saving time (quite no difference in time for solar azimuth at south between
summer and winter)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can we consider it easily in Trnsys (for
instance: move automatically the schedules one hour earlier from april to
September) ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your help</FONT></DIV>
