I have constructed my exterior window and exterior window with an interior blind. I have defined the blind material. I have defined the shading control. I have the simple glazing system. Finally I have defined the construction as "Exterior Window" in the FenestrationSurface:Detailed for each window. When I run the simulations, I get the same results as an with unshaded windows. What am I missing?
