New materials are making siding a great choice for energy efficiency, best control, and more. Window materials and options have changed a lot over the years as energy codes have become more strict, and as utility rates have climbed. Generically, they are white vinyl double pane windows, usually with a low-e (low emissivity) coating that will help control heat flow in and out of the home.
Be aware that there are regional differences and climate zones that help determine what would be a good product for your area. This is best shown as the Energy Star Map. Here in California, the minimum required energy rating is called the Title 24 Section 6 requirement. Most window manufacturers' meet this criteria because it is pretty easy to achieve these minimum ratings.
A savvy dual pane window consumer would be wise to find a window that exceeds these rating for the maximum energy savings. These are most often what a new home builder installs in new residential developments. Often these are ordered as "stock" sizes and are made in bulk, and are installed over the framing and moisture barrier before the final exterior of the home.
