Load Calculation Software with Site Shading Incorporation

I am looking for load calculation software that can incorporate site shading in to the final calculation.

My firm uses Carrier Hap but this does not incorporate surrounding site shading. We have a project coming up that will have site and sounding shading that will play a large factor in the load.

We have a revit model but do not use revit for load calculations (boss refuses to allow it due to not believing in accuracy of revit). I do know from my CAD guy we have the A360 suite from autodesk meaning insight 360 is installed.

At the moment I am looking into Openstudio and HoneyBee, but am open to suggestions.

Thanks
