You can fix the window u-value firm if you use the object in EnergyPlus called: "WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem" This object asks for a u-factor, solar heat gain coefficient and visible transmittance. It assumes that the numbers you are putting in are for the whole assembly (glazing and frame). This is counted as a material and so needs to be added to a construction. However no film will be taken into account and you will get the identical u-value you put in here, in the output reports.
