Slat thermal conductivity issue

i am using design builder to simulate exterior window shading. the shading type is a slat type that is designed to be vertical with no gaps in between.

once i input lower thermal conductivity (w/m-k), for instance 0.005 it gives worse results than the a higher material with higher thermal conductivity, for example 1.00 w/m-k.

is this a built in problem within design builder ?
