I realized my mistake after digging the rate of transmitted solar radiation for each zone and each surface. In my model, I have four similar buildings with different orientations, and I did a copy paste of my model then rotate it according to each orientation.

However, when I check the orientation of each building, they have different local north axis orientation, not in line with the global north axis orientation of the facilities. It seems that the local north axis is also getting rotated when I copy paste and rotate the building. It leads to the complexity of each building north axis orientation, that's why the result did not make sense.

When I tried to make the model from scratch again (without copy paste and rotation), the result makes sense and consistent with the building orientation.
