I am trying to add a transparent SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation object to a roof using WindowMaterial:Glazing as the material, which references a MaterialProperty:GlazingSpectralData object specifying wavelength-dependent optical parameters.
However, it does not appear that the glazing spectral data influences my results when used with the movable insulation. Any thoughts on why these properties don't seem to get applied properly? I've run SurfaceControl:MovableInsulation with SpectralAverage instead for the glazing material optical data type, and results seem to update as expected given the spectral parameters provided (reflectance, transmittance).
Here is a snapshot of the objects I am using:
