Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] attached shading surface with some holes

"Fraction of Shading Surface That Is Glazed" in Shading Surface Reflectance 
only affects the way the shading surface *reflects* sunlight, it does not alter 
the transmittance of the shading surface.

Shading surfaces are opaque, unless the the transmittance schedule (field 
"TransSchedShadowSurf") has values greater than 0.0.  The easiest option is to 
set the shading surface transmittance schedule to AreaOfHoles divided by 
TotalAreaOfShade.
