Solar gains differences between Design Builder and IES VE....

Dear group,

In our current projects we noticed a big difference when modeling solar
gains between the software IES VE and Designbuilder (EnergyPlus). IES VE
underestimate the values of solar gains, by almost 1 to 2 of difference
than EnergyPlus,

So I just try to ask if someone of you are experienced the same
difference and if you know the reasons of that big difference. We test a
"cell-test" and we found also this underestimation of solar gains.

Thanks in advance,
