Thank you, Aaron.
I compared the components of both Surface Window Net Heat Transfer Energy and Surface Window Heat Gain/Loss Energy as shown below.
So, is it correct to say that:
...Surface Window Net Heat Transfer Energy is about the net heat flow going through a window surface "itself" (including it's glazing, frame and dividers) from both the outside and inside of the surface through radiation, convection and conduction.
...whereas Surface Window Heat Gain/Loss Energy concerns the "thermal impact" of the zone-side of a window to the zone, i.e., once the window is heated up, how much heat is added to or lost from the zone through the window by means of convection and radiation (no conduction in this case).
