Transparency schedule is modified but it has no impact on the cooling loads

Dear Community, I'm designing a dynamic shading system that changes hourly based on different shading states. I model the shading, as a context Surface with Shading:Building:Detailed and then I assigned a transmittance schedule with EMS to replicate the activation of the shading system. I have two sensors: solar radiation and operative temperature. I actually, followed the same method that was posted here: https://unmethours.com/question/37305/ems-actuator-need-for-complex-shading-control/

I noticed that EMS is working fine, and the schedule is getting modified. But, it doesn't have an impact on the energy consumption results.

Regards
