The 9.0 library has a "Vent Window" in the Special Windows folder (under Wood Plastic Windows) ... at least in the US version. Try all of the parameters ... adjustable louver sizes, tilt, etc. ... and material. The default material is metal on my system.

If you want the brackets for the glass to show, as in the link you posted, just model it yourself using little roofs for the glass and brackets. Create one and multiply vertically.

Greetings dream catcher,
I have what you want, mail me off list <rodjurich@westnet.com.au> and I can send you the Library part. Please tell me which version of AC are you using. 7, 8.1 or 9.
With this window you don't have to add extras as Karl suggests in order to present 3D realism.
