DST is accomplished by simply setting the local clocks ahead by exactly one hour during the "summer" months. Because the sun rises earlier in the summer, starting the daily business routines earlier "saves" some of the daylight in the afternoon for use by people after regular work hours. The change in work/sleep habits also generates some energy savings by moving peak electrical use periods. The savings has made it quite popular with the politicians that set clock standards, so that the DST period has become extended to beyond half of the year in the USA. If DST became permanent for the entire year, then the "savings" would disappear as peoples would eventually adjust their routines the the new time regimen.
