This is the same data structure used for all schedules in EnergyPlus. So, for every schedule except the Schedule:File
this should be true. As such I think it makes sense to default it here to true
.

@prsh5175 With the help of the E+ team, I found out how to add a file to the repo and add it to a test here. I've done the coding part but not the actual adding the file part. I'll leave that to you. I've also made notes (and pointed to them) for places you will want to add tests.

Oh and I forgot to put it in the comments as well, but also test to make sure that it's pulling the correct values from the schedule when the simulation is not in daylight savings for both the cases of schedules with and without the "observe DST" switch we put in. So both would not jump forward an hour.
…n the current state - need to discuss more to mitigate current errors. Dummy schedule file csv added in the repo.

Yeah, that's something we'll need to do for backwards compatibility. Also with all the regression test files. And there's a version translator fortran thing you have to do as well. We'll get to that.

What you're saying here is that you expect the hour of the day + the daylight savings indicator to be equal to the schedule value from the file. That's probably not going to work.
First, HourOfDay
hasn't been set for this test. You'll need to do that. The best way to see what's going on is to put a debugger on this test and a breakpoint on this line and follow the values you're using. Step through LookUpScheduleValue
and make sure variables from the state that it is using are set in your test.
Once you get that sorted out and it's pulling the value out of the schedule file. You'll want to compare the value of the schedule at a given day and hour not the hour itself. The test schedule file you added above is very realistic, but maybe not the best for testing. It may be useful to have the schedule with like a value of 1
for the hour before the one you want and 2
for the hour you want, or something like that. The rest can be filled with whatever. That way testing for values becomes pretty straightforward.

@prsh5175 See my suggested edits to the docs below. I think we'll also want to do something with this warning as well. I'm on the fence of whether to remove it entirely or move it somewhere and only call it when we think someone is doing something dumb.
Decision: remove the warning since there's an explicit switch for it now. Bonus: should make things faster since it was being called a lot. |

This field indicates whether or not to shift the schedule forward an hour during daylight savings time. If "Yes" the schedule skips forward an hour in the CSV on the "spring forward" day and repeats an hour on the "fall back" day. If "No", the schedule is read and applied in standard time, without adjusting for daylight savings time. This indicator is defaulted to "Yes" if no input is provided. | ||

If the "UseDaylightSaving" boolean has a "true" value, the "thisHour" variable adds the DSTIndicator (value of 1 hour) to the "ThisHour" variable (note the capital vs small lettering in the variable names), otherwise, the hour value is unchanged (i.e., daylight savings time effect is not accounted for).

Maybe add a reference to the DST object? Via Latex, not the web (hopefully that was obvious, just easier for me to find the web version 😀)

DST object referenced in LaTeX.
I think that if the flag is set to 'yes' this warning can be skipped. This means the user wants it this way. If it is set to 'no' (the default, especially if the optional field is not there) then the warning continues like it always has. Basically, a 'yes' gets rid of the warning? |
The default and previous behavior is "Yes". That means we're currently throwing the warning in the "Yes" case. We don't want to throw this warning if the user selects "No". Are you suggesting that we differentiate between whether the user allows this field to be defaulted to "Yes" or whether they explicitly enter a "Yes" on the object and then only throw the warning in the former case? That seems like a hassle to me. I guess I figure that since there's a documented input for the behavior now, we just don't need this anymore. |
My bad. I got the default mixed up. Sorry for the confusion. I think we're saying the same thing. To reiterate: If 'yes' (previous and default) keep the warning. Basically no change. If 'no' (new option) then warning is skipped. |

So, decided to test this using 5ZoneTDV. Extended the Schedule:File object with blank fields and then added the DST flag. It crashed. Why? Because Minutes per Item didn't have a default and came in as zero.
Did some IDD cleanup and tried again. Now it runs. Compared with DST = Yes and No. Identical results. Hmmmm. Duh, 5ZoneTDV doesn't have daylight savings. Well, ok, so these should be identical.
Added DST and compared again with schedule DST = Yes and No. Voila! Different source energy.
Pushing up idd changes and some changes to 5ZoneTDV to extend the object with all fields and No for DST ('cause that's probably correct for the TDV schedules). And added output variables for source energy 'cause that's of most interest. This shouldn't trigger any CI diffs (yah, sure it won't).
Will merge in the morning assuming CI comes back clean.
And this showed a 0.36% speedup. Whoop whoop!!
@bonnema I'm all for it personally. This spring forward thing is 🤬 . I always come back to this segment from John Oliver |
So, will EnergyPlus accept a DST period from Jan 1 - Dec 31? I suppose it should. Then the entire schedule should shift, or not, or ? And that will bring into question the timing of weather data if we're always on DST will it be recorded with ST timestamps? Head is starting to spin... |
😄 It would make everyone's life so much easier if the permanent situation
was ST (instead of DST)..like the rest of the world! (and same for SI
system...and maybe a bunch of other things but for now let's leave it at SI
system).

That's a good question @mjwitte. Seems like it should be able to, but I think we'd need to try it to make sure. Ultimately, it's just the same as being on standard time with a different offset from UTC. Seems like this could be easily achieved by modifying the epw file to shift everything by an hour. I imagine that TMY3 would be updated to reflect that (TMY4?). |
But let's wait on all that until congress actually passes something. I'll believe this when I see it. |
Pull request overview
An optional field has been added to the IDD to indicate whether or not to shift the schedule forward an hour during daylight savings time. If the value is a "Yes", the schedule skips forward an hour in the CSV on the "spring forward" day and repeats an hour on the "fall back" day. If "No", the schedule is read and applied in standard time, without adjusting for daylight savings time. This indicator is defaulted to "Yes" if no input is provided.
