Notes
Cost profile
Lower $/sq ft
Often paired with passive ventilation rather than full HVAC extension.
Energy code
Higher performance
Expect stronger insulation, glazing, and HVAC coordination than three-season kits.
Premium
Structural engineering
Structural loads and thermal bridging need careful detailing.
Moisture
Flashing details
Attachment to the main house must shed water at the ledger and roof intersection.
Loads
Manual J sizing
Mini-splits are common when extending central ducts is difficult.

The calculator multiplies illustrative installed rates per square foot by sunroom type, adds foundation and HVAC bands, applies a finish multiplier, and adjusts for regional construction costs. The total is split across materials, labor, and combined permits or utility tie-ins for display. Engineering, architecture, and premium window brands are not itemized separately.
