Is there any reason not to support blind between the panes?

I have gotten this to work with just a text string and I will make an official component to write this string soon.

The issue of how to implement dynamic shading in this case is really complicated because it requires us to include a Shading Control object in the IDF file. Please post here if you think that dynamic shading in this case is important or if it is ok to just leave it at static blinds between glass for now.

Hi Chris, Thanks. As I added in Grasshopper group, I'm concerned on how we are going to add this functionality. To me it is an advanced feature (which is also pretty useful) but then we are adding it to the EnergyPlus component which won't support HVAC systems, etc. I wonder if we should push these sort of features toward OpenStudio? In any case it is not a trivial implementation-
