Why kiva results do not make sense?

Hi

I used different models for slab (F Factor, Kiva, Ground Domain) But I found the result for Kiva totally different than other models. In the kiva Model, I have more heat loss in Summer than Winter!!! I checked the example file for this method (Kiva), I faced the same issue and the same pattern for the result?

Would you please help me to understand the reason?

Regards, Roya
