Apply Schedule/Actuator Air Temperature to Window

I am attempting to add an air temperature adjacent to a window or surface temperature of a window in EnergyPlus. This would act as if it were a boundary condition and would be controlled by a schedule or an actuator.

I tried the SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients object but found that it does not work on walls with windows.

Is there a component I can use or an actuator I could apply to override the surface temperature of a specific window in a model?

While on the subject is there a component or actuator I can use to control the direct and diffuse radiation incident on a glazed surface.

Thank you for your time,

Justin

UPDATE ON October 18, 2016 Building on @Archmage's answer and a relevant answer by @Ivan Korolija in another question found here: https://unmethours.com/question/20541/i-want-a-site-with-constant-temperature-and-0-solar-radiation-how-to-edit-weather-files/?answer=20585#post-id-20585. I was able to solve the problem brought up in this question.
