Does E+ consider interior shading when calculating the operative temperature?

Hi all,

I´m working on the thermal analysis of a wintergarden, made of polycarbonate with an internal shading that deploys depending on the temperature.

Is the operative temperature calculated with the temperature of the shading material, or with the temperature of the polycarbonate roof? I don´t see many changes between both options, and I guess it should make a difference.

Thanks,

Rafael
