you might need to use final gather with a large portal light at the opening of your building. that should transfer the image based lighting of your outside environment into the building -

Do you use any exposure controls ? And for what it worth this lighting kinda make sense, since you seem to be using a sunset HDR. Those are mainly dark except for the sun part :P. If this was a photo you were taking in real life, to get details in those dark area you will need some low shutter speed and low f number. -
