I am totally new to Radiance and trying to figure out wether or not this can become our tool.

We use Ecotect for building simulation to get a shading percentage for each window for each minute throughout an entire year.

Ecotect has been retired, so we are looking for an alternative -- so far without success.

I understand that Radiance is a rather sophisticated tool, but nevertheless I would like to know if we could use it for the described purpose.

Thanks for any answers!
