There are coatings that can be put on the inside of a multilayer pane of glass that reflect heat back into a heated room. Multiple layers with a vacuum or argon gas inside also have less transmission of heat. There are also thinsulate-type lined curtains you can put in front of the glass if you are talking a window.

Put a low conductivity gas between two panes of glass and seal them. This is often what is done to prevent heat transfer. If you look at a cross section of a thermos, it's the same concept. The less surface contact there is, the less heat transfer there will be. Another method used is using low emissivity coatings reduce radiative heat transfer.

Double insulated windows reduce heat transfer extensively. You still need to caulk then though.
