A couple of things that might help . . . For the sun & heat, you could have a solar screen installed on the outside of your window. On the inside, a thermal shade or drape/curtain would help.

A friend of mine turned her lanai into a permanent room and because she wanted to have more control over the heating and cooling in the room, had a Mitsubitshi (yes, same company as the car) unit installed. I will find out the model number. She is very happy with the unit and it does exactly what she wanted it to do
