I have seen any number of such things done wrong.  For example: heating 
the entry way, or putting it inside the footprint of the building. 
Other than that, I can't imagine the savings would even pay off the 
embodied energy of the door and other materials.

Don't stand in the doorway saying 'goodbye', would be my advice.

Thank You Kindly,
