I am working with a curtain wall and am having trouble showing that the glazing is clear.

I click on the section of the curtain wall that defines each section and this is shown as System Panel  - Glazed. The properties material is Glass. Under materials the Glass Parameter is set at Clear with a reflectance of 15.

What is the correct way to do this?

How is it showing?  What are you using as your visual style?  Do you have your material set to "Use Render Appearance" under the graphics tab in the Material Browser?  If not is there a color applied for the surface pattern?

I can't tell you because your not giving me enought information, communication is key.  I asked you.... How is it showing?  What are you using as your visual style? And you didn't answer either.  Attach an image of your material settings and elevation that is not working how you want

Sorry about that.

The glass system panel appears to be opaque.

Visual Style is currently set at Hidden.

Attached is an elevation of the curtain wall.

Are you sure you are just not seeing a wall behind the windows because in hidden it would just show up as white like it shows.  Are you using phases in your project? If so are your windows on the correct phase?  Do you have the transparency of the material set to 100%?

In hidden line views, material transparency doesn't work.  Select one glass panel, right click and select all instances in view and set the transparency there.
