I feel bad since you put a lot of effort into moving the shading controls UI @jmarrec
However, I feel that shading and daylighting controls in EnergyPlus are fundamentally broken. I think we should push to correct that implementation at the EnergyPlus and/or OpenStudio level before trying to make a new UI.
If we do make a new UI, I think that would be a larger new feature that would need support from the coalition or others. I created #239 and linked to a Google doc to play with ideas.
My suggestion is that we get our proposal on refactoring these controls ready, then bring to DOE/NREL and see if they can work with us on refactoring at the EnergyPlus and/or OpenStudio level
