Would interstitial or interior blinds could contribute to load reductions and contribute to an increase in energy efficiency? What if the blinds are automated and these controls cannot be overridden by the occupants?

Manually operated blinds cannot be used to claim energy savings. They should not be modeled at all. Automatic blinds are eligible for energy savings. See Table G3.1-5 in Appendix G.
