Surface Window Net Heat Transfer Rate

In Openstudio, i´m trying to get the heat balance of surfaces and windows (The equivalence of heat balance of DesignBuilder), I know that for surfaces I have to use "Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate", but I wondered If its correct using "Surface Window Net Heat Transfer Rate" for the heat balance on windows, because in the pdf of InputOutput reference does´t appear this value, the search tool doesn´t find it.

So, what´s exactly the definition of "Surface Window Net Heat Transfer Rate"?

thanks you for your attention and best regards,
