Default Raising the lanai floor?

One of our projects we're wanting to do is make our lanai a livable space in the summer. It is enclosed (w/ Plexiglas sliding windows), but not air conditioned and it gets hot. The tech with Chuck Farrell said the a/c is big enough to handle running ducts out to the lanai, but I'm concerned with the a/c loss through the Plexiglas. If we have low e glass installed, I've heard that permits then have to be pulled, therefore the lanai floor has to be raised to the level of the home, am I correct with what I've heard? If the floors have to be raised, does it have to be concrete or can a subfloor be built?

Those that have had this done or have checked into this, I would appreciate info from you.
