Shading for internal windows

A building with atrium - windows adjacent to it are considered as internal, but they receive a lot of sun. So, we need a shading. But I could not find a workable combination for a shading control - I always receive a message "invalid Shading Control Name because it is not an exterior window" Does it mean that Energy Plus cannot calculate shading for internal windows? E+ 8.8
