“…The study conducted by Rock (1997) used a simulation model (DOE-2.1) to predict residential annual energy use at 224 locations in the US. The house used for this case study was based on a floor area and construction quality typical of moderately priced US single-family houses.…”

This paper presents a literature review concerning the effects of DST on energy use. Simple estimates suggest a reduction in national electricity use of around 0.5%, as a result of residential lighting reduction. Several studies have demonstrated effects of this size based on more complex simulations or on measured data. However, there are just as many studies that suggest no effect, and some studies suggest overall energy penalties, particularly if gasoline consumption is accounted for. There is general consensus that DST does contribute to an evening reduction in peak demand for electricity, though this may be offset by an increase in the morning. Nevertheless, the basic patterns of energy use, and the energy efficiency of buildings and equipment have changed since many of these studies were conducted. Therefore, we recommend that future energy policy decisions regarding changes to DST be preceded by high quality research based on detailed analysis of prevailing energy use, and behaviours and systems that affect energy use. This would be timely, given the extension to DST underway in North America in 2007.

“…On the whole, despite many researchers arguing that Summer Time may result in health, social, economic and other issues as well as ineffectiveness in energy saving (some of the issues are discussed in Hecq et al 1993, Rock 1997, and Lahti et al 2006), the results of this study concluded that the implementation of Summer Time/Double Summer Time does have significant energy saving potential in terms of household lighting in Japan.…”

“…An MED is the amount of biologically effective UV required to produce barely perceptible erythema after an interval of [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] hours following exposure [16]. At any five minute point, the value recorded is the diffuse erythemal UV exposure for the previous five minutes ending at the respective five minute point.…”

“…In Australia, three of the eastern states practice daylight saving time (AEDT), whereas Queensland remains on standard time (AEST). Research has considered the influence of daylight saving time on different aspects, for example the impact on residential energy consumption and cost [10], the influence on motor vehicle and pedestrian fatalities [11] and the influence of the transition to daylight saving time on sleep duration and sleep efficiency [12].…”

The research question of whether there are any influences in the scattered or diffuse erythemal UV exposures to a horizontal plane over a five month period due to the change from standard time to daylight saving time, has been investigated by using physical measurements and applying them to both standard time and daylight saving time. The diffuse erythemal UV was considered for fixed lunch break times and fixed morning and afternoon break times. The cases considered were for groups of the population who are predominantly indoors and who spend their break times outdoors in shade. The biggest influence on the diffuse UV exposures of changing to daylight saving time is the timing of the outdoor meal and break times. The change causes a reduction in diffuse erythemal exposure for early or morning breaks and an increase in the diffuse erythemal exposure for late or afternoon breaks. Similarly, for the lunch break times, the changes in exposure are influenced by the timing of the break with respect to solar noon. Indoor workers who take their breaks outside in a shaded area may have a change in their exposure to diffuse UV due to a shift to daylight saving time, however the magnitude of this change and whether it is a positive or negative change in exposure will depend on the timing of the break. The increase in diffuse UV exposure due to the afternoon break may be negated by the decrease in exposure due to the morning break. In this case, the effect on diffuse UV exposures due to changing to daylight saving time will be minimal.
