[Greenbuilding] Glasshouse

[Robert Waldrop]

I don't know about removing it, as it makes a buffer zone on the north side, 
which should protect the north wall of the house a bit from weather.  I have a 
north facing porch which I intend to eventually enclose with screen for the 
summer and storm windows for the winter. It's nice and shady in the summer and a 
pleasant place to sit.

I would work on sealing up whatever problem is causing the drafts.

A client just bought a house with an attached glass sitting area on
the north side of the building. It is single pane and drafty.
He has approached me for help.
I'm thinking of telling him to remove it as it will always be cold and
uncomfortable.
Any thoughts?
