Hi Raquel,
The following paper might be a good starting point.
Issac Guedi Capeluto, "The influence of the urban environment on the
availability of daylighting in office buildings in Israel", Building and
Environment 38 (2003) 745 -752.
For your simulations you need to use Radiance as you want to investigate
specular reflectances from neighboring buildings.
Instead of using the "standard" Radiance i.e. considering only one sky
condition at a time, you might further consider to use a "dynamic"
Radiance-based method such as Daysim or Adeline.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] daylight in fully-glazed buildings
Hello
I'm interested in simulating the effects of inter-reflection of fully-glazed
buildings and analyse the consequences of the reflectivity of neighbouring
glazed buildings in the daylight levels inside other buildings. Does anyone
came across this problem before, have knowledge on this phenomenon or is
aware of any literature on this matter? I would be glad to hear if anyone as
an insight on the physics of this. Ideally, I would like to find a set of
real measurements that I could use as a reference case for my simulation
study.
Thank you
Raquel
