    Cork.

    Crumpled or shredded newspaper but only in places that don't have to be fire resistant.....a tool shed or dog house. 

    I know some people up north put bubble wrap on windows in winter; they claim it really helps with their heat bill.

    A vacuum provides the best protection against cold like the way it works for a thermos bottle but not likely to be able to design clothing to work that way.
