Please refer to the WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem documentation:
The performance indices are U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, and optionally Visible Transmittance. The values for these performance indices can be selected by the user to represent either glazing-only windows (with no frame) or an average window performance that includes the frame. Inside the program the model produces an equivalent window glazing layer with no frame.
If you provide properties that only include the glazing, then you would presumably want to use the WindowProperty:FrameAndDivider object. If you provide properties that include both, then the frame does not need to be separately described.
