I mean you've kinda said it, big windows heat loss, 2 large opening heat loss. You want to restrict the movement of air id say for a start.

thanks - yup I'm fairly confident that closing off the space from the rest of the house + covering the windows would help significantly, just need someone w/actual expertise to ratify my common sense before I go shooting the money guns. going to get someone from south seeds round to do one of their free 'energy audits' anyway, to see what they think about this and other things I can do around the rest of the place
cozzzzzzzz
do we have any energy auditors/heating experts on the forum
I have calculated BTU requirements of a space + the BTU outputs of radiators within that space but space takes a long while to reach target temp and air can then feel cool when target achieved and rads go off. the space has: high ceilings; bifold doors/big glass kitchen door; plus two large openings to the rest of the house where heat can escape upstairs.
my question is: would adding closures (e.g. shutters/door) + curtains/duette blinds over the windows significantly improve things?
