[EnergyPlus_Support] How to find out the direct solar radiation falling into an internal surface



Dear e+ group 

I am intersted to know how much radiation is falling into the floor of a determinate zone,

I have try using the follow output

Beam Sol Intensity from Ext Windows on Inside of Surface

but the values I am getting are very low and not what I was expected, as the day I am looking at is 21st june, and the room has large windows facing east and south. The output produce by energyplus is telling than less than 4.78E-03 w/m2 are falling into the floor at 10.30 when i was expected more radiation.

Am I using the right output? anyone has an idea what i am doing wrong?

thanks
