Default insulation...single pane window

Use foamboard your window is likely rated R1 , the pink or blue is R
5.5 per inch and foilfaced R 7.2". Dont paint a sun exposed piece
black, it can melt from trapped radiation and even crack glass. It will
make you warmer, just pop out the panel in daytime if you wish. Plastic
film may add R 1-2 and helps a bit too.
