Does anyone know if ECOTECT daylight reports suffice LEED submittal requirements?

This question was just answered over on the NC forum for this credit. Eddy Santosa said:You cannot use ECOTECT daylight reports for credit compliance.
The reason is that ECOTECT does not have capability to do daylight
calculation under "clear-sky" condition as it is required by IEQ c8.1.
ECOTECT daylight calculation has only "uniform" and "overcast" sky
condition options. However, you can export and do the calculation with
RADIANCE engine by using ECOTECT.
