embed PCM in glazing system

Hola! I am new in energy modeling and desperately need some help! now I am working on PCM material embed in the glazing system. I am using Energyplus with grasshopper/Honeybee to simulate the process. However, I cannot assign PCM material in window construction since PCM be considered as an opaque material and need to have all the thermal property. I am wondering if there is any way to resolve the limitation that having high thermal mass material in window construction. thanks in advanced!
