[EnergyPlus_Support] interior blinds

["yiqunpan" <yiqunpan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I made a model to simulate the heat transfer from the evenlope. In the 
model I used interior blinds for windows as well as without blinds. I 
thought that the cooling loads through the envelope due to solar heat 
gain should be higher without blinds than with blinds, but the results 
show that in some time (e.g. early morning on east facade and late 
afternoon on west facade) it is higher with blinds. What is the reason 
exactly? I also tried interior shade, but the results are similar.
