Window:Material:Shade Parameters

Hey, I want to compare Eplus-simulation-results with other Tools (Trnsys, etc.). For the shading models i got the following parameters:

"Shading-factor": 96,3% of the radiation are not transmitted when shading is active + a schedule for shading with values between 0 and 1. The other tools don't need input parameter like: Reflectance, Infrared Hemispherical, etc. My questions: Are these proper values for WindowsMaterial:Shade?

WindowMaterial:Shade,
    Shade,                   !- Name
    0.036,                   !- Solar Transmittance {dimensionless}
    0.9,                     !- Solar Reflectance {dimensionless}
    0.036,                   !- Visible Transmittance {dimensionless}
    0.9,                     !- Visible Reflectance {dimensionless}
    0.2,                     !- Infrared Hemispherical Emissivity {dimensionless}
    0.036,                   !- Infrared Transmittance {dimensionless}
    0.002,                   !- Thickness {m}
    1,                       !- Conductivity {W/m-K}
    0.05,                    !- Shade to Glass Distance {m}
    0.5,                     !- Top Opening Multiplier
    0.5,                     !- Bottom Opening Multiplier
    0.5,                     !- Left-Side Opening Multiplier
    0.5,                     !- Right-Side Opening Multiplier
    ;                        !- Airflow Permeability {dimensionless}

Thank you very much!
