Internally "conditioned" Cavity Windows (not double skin facade)

We have a case to model where the office windows will have 1-2 inch cavity between 2 glass panels, and instead of a glass fill (like Argon or anything) we will have a supply air pipes through the mullions. These pipes will basically act as "air curtains" where they will supply the cold air during the summers, and hot air during the winters.

I already have looked into the previous (as per my knowledge), and I wasn't able to find anything like this.

If anyone has any experience, comments, feedback etc, please feel free to share. I am not able to figure out how to model this either in Openstudio or EnergyPlus. Any feedback on "work around" will also be helpful.
