Glass Doors

I am creating a model of a house for thermal and daylight analysis. On exterior walls, there are several glass hinged doors, glass sliding doors, and a glass wall that opens. My first thought was to model these doors as windows since there is no glass door material. Would this calculate accurately? Or are doors treated differently for thermal calculations than windows (i.e. infiltration from opening and closing more frequently)?

Any suggestions?

thanks

You can insert a window to door for glass door. otherwise, I think you can change the door to window, the infiltration in ecotect is related to zone, not window or door. It is material difference between them.
