Joomla 3.1: how to get timezone offset?

Does anybody know how to get the system timezone offset in Joomla 3.1? I've tried the following: 

    return JFactory::getConfig()->getValue('offset');

but this results in the following error: 

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method JRegistry::getValue()

Thanks for any info pointing me in the right direction ....

Try:

$timezone = new DateTimeZone(JFactory::getConfig()->get('offset'));
$offset   = $timezone->getOffset(new DateTime)/3600;
