Skylight heat loss

I have a medium sized living room on the North side of my house. It has a skylight that measures about 1.5 ft x 4 ft.

I suspect I'm losing a lot of heat through it. Is that correct? If so, is there anything I can do to minimize the heat loss?

Thanks.

Thanks Jeep.

I'll hold off looking into it, as this house has a million and one other things that need to be done.

I had 3 sjylights in my last house and if they are good quality and double glazed they don't lose any more than a window. You can buy roll blinds that operate with a remote to close them off if you want but they are expensive.
