The rest of the house is OK but when you walk into that bedroom (office now) it's freezing on a cool (or cold) day. Although North facing, sunny or cloudy days make little difference. Home inspector checked with IR camera and no obvious problem with insulation.
It's a Lilac style house. Bedroom on the other end of house is fine. Similar outside wall exposure and similar glass area. Builder has asked what I thought was wrong. I hadn't considered a second zone being the solution.

When you say return vent, are you saying you have an outlet AND a return in that room? I have yet to see an outlet and return in a TV house individual bedroom. Usually there is only one return and it should be in a hall or central location, usually near your thermostat. Adding a return back to the blower will increase the air exchange in that particular room so that the heat exchange in that particular room will be improved. Also, increasing the size of the outlet can increase the air flow in that room, which could also help.
