[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: how to overwrite the shading produce by the direct sun into a room? Help!

There are two solar radiation fields in the EnergyPlus weather file. The Direct Normal and Diffuse Horizontal. In the Design Day object the solar radiation fields may be entered as schedules, Beam Solar and Diffuse solar. Beam is same as Direct Normal

In december 21 at certain times of the day the solar radiation enter the zone and hit the floor which is a thermal mass element (concrete). I would like to know what happen if part of the concrete are is cover by an element, I would like to look at how this may affect the internal peak time temperatures of the room. Therefore I would like to insert in the energy plus model percentage of that floor cover by shading (manually). Does anyone know if this is possible to do in energyplus? and if the answer is yes, how could it be done? If anyone has an example will be appreciate.
