A research/information page referred to by: VIDEO: bubble wrap window insulation
Someone did their best to measure the effect of taping bubble wrap to a window to reduce heat loss. He had a room with two side-by-side windows, left one window alone and put bubble wrap on the other.
Results were:
Temp of room 67F (room temperature)
Temp of bubblewrap 60.5F (inside surface of bubble wrap)
Temp of glass 55.3F (inside surface of glass)
The last two are temperatures at each window. It shows quite a bit LESS heat loss on the bubblewrap window versus untreated window.

"Guy who did some tests
http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Conservation/bubblewrapperformance.htm
My claim here that placing bubble wrap on a single pane window results in an efficiency gain somewhere between untreated window, and a cheap thermopane seems pretty obvious. What I meant was that the results of my not-too-scientific study were that numbers seemed to post in the center between an entirely different thermopane window, and the untreated single pane window."
