Shade controls in EnergyPlus should do what you want. Here it is demonstrated in the SketchUp Plugin, but it is also accessible in the OpenStudio Application. Go to the Spaces tab, then sub-surfaces, and then shading control.

@David Goldwasser is the SketchUp Plugin link outdated? Because the "Shading Control Name" parameter doesn't appear to me anymore in the OpebStudio Inspector (I'm using the Version 1.1.0 of the SketchUp Plugin).

@David Goldwasser thanks. How can I change the threshold that makes shading activate.
