no, the total number of seconds, minutes and hours found within a solar year would be exactly the same, I'm just reconstituting them into compartmentalized "longer" days of 27 hours, and then further making each month in a year consist of 27 days (save for month 1 that will have 28 days every other year). If anything, I'm just sliding hours along to make "better" days.

It's just a better solution to the odd-number of months we have now (which consist of 28, 29, 30 and 31-day months) and also allowing for a single day's span to be slightly elongated.
