Minu,
I have had occasion to model that type of device using TRNSYS.
Tracking solar collectors (whether PV or thermal) are easy examples.
Some years ago, I modelled a device that sits on top of horizontally
mounted skylight, tracks the sun and tries to bounce more daylight
down the skylight well. There is nothing stopping you, however, from
having whatever component of the building (all the way down to the
walls and roofs) track the sun.
Cheers,
David
