but when i set different solar reflectance in "shading property: reflectance" for shadings i did not get new result and i have the same heating and cooling energy consumption.
i should just set the "shading property: reflectance" or there is another setting i should do?

Shading surfaces are not part of the thermal load on the
building and though they can have reflectance, they do not really have
constructions such as the rest of the building elements have.
