Buildings.Utilities.Time.Types.ZeroTime

Use this to set the date corresponding to time = 0

Information

Type for choosing how to set the reference time in Buildings.Utilities.Time.CalendarTime.

For example, Buildings.Utilities.Time.Types.TimeReference.NY2016 means that if the Modelica built-in variable time=0, it is January 1, 2016, 0:00:00 local time.

When using Buildings.Utilities.Time.Types.ZeroTime.UnixTimeStampGMT, time is defined with respect to GMT. This is different from the use of time in the weather data reader Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3, as the weather data reader assumes that time is expressed in local time.
