The design of sustainable buildings makes use of energy simulation tools like EnergyPlus. A key element in energy efficiency is the window, and more specifically the window frame, since it gene-rally has a higher thermal transmittance than the other building envelop components. Moreover, the frame reduces the glazing area, decreasing the solar gain. Therefore, when carrying out a si-mulation in EnergyPlus, it is essential to specify the design of window frames through the   correct definition of inputs. In this paper, the different possible options for the modeling of window frames in EnergyPlus are analyzed, then compared with each other through simulations. The results show that the outputs are very sensitive to the inputs lack of accuracy, which highlights the necessity for building designer professionals to be cautious about those aspects in order to obtain reliable simu-lation results.
