I suspect it will be hard for anyone to provide you with a definitive answer, given your case study description. The room geometry and constructions are clear enough, but there's plenty of missing info to reproduce your results. Your location is Southern India (near the Equator, +35°C, humid ... night cooling is a challenge even @10ACH). No info on shading, surface reflectances, etc. Based strictly on your description, I would indeed expect higher temperatures indoors (~greenhouse). Are you seeing trends in your indoor vs outdoor T°? Are you systematically above outdoor T°? Range?

My objective is to check the performance of different glazings. No shading devices are introduced Yes, I am comparing the indoor and outdoor temperatures for different glazings. It is showing that outdoor temperature is lesser than indoor temperature. I have attached the designbuilder file, If you could help me with this issue https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i3y1...
