Can infrared radiation pass through glass windows?

That depends, short wave infrared radiation can travel through glass (hence the laser pointers and your TV remotes), but longer infrared waves get reflected. This is due to the design of glass so that we can see through it but the infrared heat radiation does not leave, thus improving efficiency.
