There are lots of way you could go about that. An alpha driven self-illuminated material would seem to be the most efficient...or you could cut them in manually...

JimCrafton leaves a faint aroma of banana
Like solarkid mentions, I just used a boolean operator to cut in the window shapes and then extruded inward a little and capped them off. Any of those window faces then had a special material that emitted a glow. If you export the glow as a separate render layer or channel, you can use that in something like Photoshop to add extra glow, or whatever you like.
