You would define a wall 2m high made of glass and bricks which covers 
the entire area (including the window area).  Then you add a window 
subsurface on that wall starting at 1m high and extending to 2m high. 
 The area occupied by the subsurface replaces that portion of the 
wall with the window construction.

If the other building is in direct contact, then you could describe 
the wall dividing the buildings as an interior surface with the same 
conditions on both sides.  To do this for example for "East Wall", 
OusideFaceEnvironment=OtherZone, OutsideFaceEnvironment Object="East 
Wall"

If there is an air gap between the buildings, then 
OusideFaceEnvironment=ExteriorEnvironment, and the shading effect of 
the other building can be described using Surface:Shading:Detached
