[esp-r] Modelling curtain-wall vs. modelling windows

[Evan Sterling]

I am trying to model a building with some curtain-wall sections, but the
specifications I have only provide thermal performance data on the glass
itself, not the entire unit with aluminum framing, silicone glazing, etc. My
one idea is to model the curtainwall with equivalent areas of glass and
aluminum, but this doesn't seem terribly accurate. Is there a better option?

Thanks,
