As we see in <strong>the</strong> above figures, temperature conditions were moderate. In <strong>the</strong> EnergyPlus<br />

algorithm, direct as well as indirect <strong>solar</strong> <strong>radiation</strong> is considered. We can observe that <strong>the</strong><br />

largest level <strong>of</strong> direct <strong>radiation</strong> appears in March <strong>and</strong> indirect <strong>radiation</strong> reaches <strong>the</strong><br />

maximum level from May to August.<br />
