Has Radiance been tested against the CIE 171:2006 test cases?

Hi All, I'm pretty new around here, and a total novice when it come to daylighting simulations. Nevertheless, I'm launching myself into an MSc dissertation that proves low energy buildings have inherently poor daylighting (low energy is my 'thing'). My professor has tasked me with finding research studies where the accuracy of Radiance has been verified against the appropriate test cases. I know the God of CDBM software must have been tested in this respect, but having trawled all databases available, I'm starting to scratch my head a little... :-| Can anyone point me towards research papers where CIE test cases have been done in Radiance?

My most humble gratitude in anticipation of your enlightened response.
