Too high temperature

Hello, I'm Japanese student majoring in Architecture. I'm using EnergyPlus to calculate inside temperature and sensible cooling energy of model house that made by SketchUp in my own. I set materials, constructions, HVACs, internal gains( lights, electricity, people) and simulated, but some of inside temperature became too high. (Ex. outside temperature 26℃, inside temperature 52℃)

First, I thought it caused because I put wrong number to materials(conductivity, thickness or more), so I changed number and tried simulate again, but its results were still too high.

Could someone tell me possible causes that makes inside temperature relatively high than outside temperature?

P.S. I'm so sorry about using poor English to ask these Questions because I'm not native in English.
