Yeah I believe that. The glazing in our kitchen is south facing and the room become unbearable rather quickly. On the flipside, this is north facing so only sees sun late evening. We'll see. I'll put a unit in if I need to but don't want to pay for one now and discover that I didn't really need it later. I do have a electrical circuit put in dedicated for heating which will be left unconnected initially so I can use that should the day come.

Fully south facing which doesn't help.
I guess the point is that the efficiency of your insulation will work against you with a building like this because of the high % of surface area taken up by glazing.
If you have no way of cooling the building then you have to block the glazing to reduce the heat, which negates the point of having the glazing in the first place...
