You might want to have one of the home inspection agencies take a look at your lanai. I used Frank DE Angelo, he is excellent. The previous poster mentioned several areas to look at. I would suggest that you look at the insulation in the attic of the lanai, was sufficient and the correct type added? I believe the building code requires that a vapor barrier be installed if the lanai is to be used as living space, aka air conditioned.
You may also need to contact the contractor that did the work.
Good luck.
