You can claim a tax credit of 10% of the cost of materials that meet or exceed the Energy Star Version 6.0 program requirements, up to a maximum of $500, for your energy efficient exterior and storm windows and doors.
You can’t deduct labor and installation costs, however.
Exterior windows and skylights must meet certain energy efficiency requirements to qualify.

When asked 'How much did you pay for energy-saving improvements?', enter the amounts you paid in the Exterior Doors and Exterior Windows fields. Skylights are considered to be windows.
