[EnergyPlus_Support] Window Transmitted Solar Gains



I have a building with south facing glazing (I am in the southern hemisphere) which should never see any direct sunlight. I have placed some external shading around the window to remove the late summer afternoon and early summer morning direct sunlight. But I am still seeing a large Window Transmitted Solar gain in the 
Report variable, *, Window Transmitted Solar, timestep;

Is this due to reflection off the other faces of the building? or is something going wrong?

Thanks,
Phil.
