I think you are one of those user who does not look at the detailed timestep values.
If the blind is inside the zone, the beam is blocked, but the heat and the diffused component may increase.
IF you mount the blind outside, you may get a different result.
The heat through the wall is also changing when the son moves. Therefore, averaged value such as cooling load will not give you a true picture.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Blockbeamsolar
Using blockbeamsolar to simulate a sun protection automatically moving with the angle of the sun, I get strange results.
The best result apparantly is to put the angel of the sun protection always at 45°.
Using the Blockbeamsolar function, which follows the sun, cooling loads get worse. I would expect the opposite. Or am I missing something....?
