Maybe, but a quick google didn't turn up any supporting data for me. Windows are transparent in the visible spectra (duh), are supposedly treated by "low-e" coatings for infrared and UV reflectivity.

I would be interested in seeing differences in absorptivity/reflectivity for argon vs air. I suspect it is a high order effect, but not sure.
