Wow - Very Interesting!!!!!
Being in this industry for close to 28 years, it's amazing how easy it is to take things for granted. I always knew it was nice to have a sunroom (my customers have been telling us for years) but now I am even more convinced.
Three years ago we installed a three-season sunroom on the south side of our building for display purposes. From November 26th to May 1 (between noon and 3 pm) we recorded the outside temperatures (with and without wind) and also the temperature inside our sunroom. The results were quite amazing! Remember, there is no heat in this room other than solar gain.
There were 29 days when the sunroom was 0 - 9 degrees Celsius inside, 30 days when the room was 10 - 19 degrees C inside and 32 days when the room was 20 degrees or warmer inside. From November 26 until May 1 there were only 9 days when the inside temperature of this room dipped below 0. The coldest inside temperature was minus 7.5 degrees Celsius when the outside temperature was minus 39. Remember the day it was minus 47 degrees Celsius? The inside temperature came in at an astounding minus 1 degree which happened to be the biggest difference inside and out all year. The biggest difference inside and out (without a wind-chill) was on Jan. 30 when it was minus 31 outside and plus 5 inside, a whopping 36 degree difference. This shows that even on days when you aren't using your three-season sunroom it can still be beneficial. That's why we recommend covering as many doors and windows as possible - they are typically heat loss areas in the winter and heat gain areas in the summer.
My point is - through proper design you can make your sunroom very functional in the colder months (when the sun is low in the sky) but not too warm in the summer (when the sun is high in the sky) and that's why it is important to deal with someone who has the experience and capabilities to custom design your room.
