When I played KotH and reached level 10, I can took a designator with a thermal mode (green). Looked from a building trough a undamaged window. I only saw a green color. I had WTF moment, then I breaked the glass pane and looked again, now working.

This is intentional. Thermal optics cannot see through glass in real life. This is because glass is an insulator (and therefore why all the heat in your house doesn't instantly go rushing out through the glass pane). Because the heat is masked, the optic will not pick anything up (or if anything, extremely faint shapes if viewing though very thin panes of glass).

As the_Demongod says above, you cannot see with thermal sight through glass in real life either. Closing as no bug.
