Hi Ramana,
Only Autodesk's Architectural Desktop [ADT] is listed as being IFC 2x compliant, as of 2003 <see http://www.bauwesen.fh-muenchen.de/iai/ImplementationOverview.htm> . But, Revit has recently been added.
It is my understanding that ADT requires an add-on to fully utilize IFC capabilities. In energy simulations undertaken on the Freedom Tower, which was created with ADT, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories used Graphisoft's ArchiCAD. This may be of importance to you since the Freedom Tower also involved daylight simulations.

Dear all,
What is the current situation on the Industry foundation classes (IFCs) of International Alliance For Interoperability (IAI) with regards to building energy and daylight simulation?
Also with regards to AutoCAD and Revit: with the CAD shifting to Revit, is there interoperability between Revit and the simulation tools we use everyday?
Any information is appreciated,
