Hi Praveen, We currently publish a free version of LightStanza that can compute an sDA score with some restrictions. The restrictions are for square footage of the model, grid spacing, and Radiance settings. Nevertheless, you could get a good idea of your building's sDA score with it. http://leed.lightstanza.com/signup Thanks for asking-- its a very complex calculation, since it requires following the IES-LM 83 methodology.
