TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigate the radiative heat transfer between blackbody-like surfaces confining an infrared-absorbing gas layer, and find that the gas is able to diminish the heat flux across a 1 cm-thick slab by a factor -0.7 in comparison with the case of a nonabsorbing medium.
Abstract
We investigate the radiative heat transfer between blackbody-like surfaces confining an infrared-absorbing gas layer. Spectrophotometric measurements on selected gases lead us to optimized compositions with sulfur hexafluoride, propyne, and different freons. Theoretically, the gas is able to diminish the radiative heat flux across a 1 cm thick slab by a factor - 0.7 in comparison with the case of a non-absorbing medium. Infrared-absorbing gases seem to offer interesting possibilities for improved transparent thermal insulation of windows.

TL;DR: In this paper, Radiative cooling using the window concept is used to simulate thermal insulation and cooling and the effect of window material on thermal insulation is discussed. But the authors do not consider the effects of gas and window material.
