If you have three pieces in the wall, then you can model the wall in three 
pieces:

=== Concrete ==| == concrete w/insul == | == Concrete ==
                              |  ==  Window  ==            |

if the window placement is crucial.  If the window is nearly all that part 
of the wall (with insulation), that piece of the wall will be somewhat 
insigificant.

You could also model the above and compare it with the wall using just the 
concrete and window as the constructions and see what the difference is.
