Internal temperatures for different constructions

Hello there,

I'm analysing the internal temperature of two models with same characteristics (north orientation, facade colors, shadings). The only difference between them is the construction type: one model has ceramic blocks, and the other one, concrete blocks.

After simulating, i've noticed that the internal temperatures for the model with concrete blocks is lower than the model with ceramic blocks. I'm wondering why this is happening, due to the transmittance of the ceramic blocks.

I've already checked the U factor on both models, aswell as the construction types of every external and internal zone. Also, i've inserted zone infiltration on both models (1 ren/h).

Anyone has any idea of what might be the problem?
