Sara, See response to Janice above.
Additionally, if your project in question is a full curtain wall glazed facade, I believe you can qualify this material as exterior envelop. As long as you remain consistent in your approach, you should be able to comply as either windows or envelop.
Lastly, I'm curious if the existing curtain wall was to be maintained, how the building would meet energy minimums - but that's another story and different LEED credit! :-)
