​Well, that is the term when there are two or more panes of glass to create
a vacuum between them.  Like Johnny-O said, "I is be thinkin’ that
“thermopane” is generic for any higher tech window" and he is correct, you
can get them UV and with argon gas (to keep the Argonians away but it won't
keep out Zombies - you'll need windows with a touch of Zombolic gas in them
- it'll prolly cost extra though).

​Yeah, windows are so complicated - you just don't pull back the curtain
and look out them any more.
