Vision panels should be modelled as windows, but the spandrel (opaque) areas will be external walls.  In this case your spandrel glass will be conductive and absorptive, but will not transmit as it isn't a window ... Spandrel glass is often colour back and will thus is usually very absorptive.  Layering of the external wal layers will be like any other construction, but be mindful of the aluminium bridging if there are no thermal breaks.
