When wife and I started construction on off-grid home ( Bed & Breakfast ) I would collect sliding doors I would find at dump. I stopped collecting at 30 panes. I wasn't quite sure why I was saving them, but knew they would come on handy. (Wife thought I was nuts.) I decided to plaster them across the front of the house which faces south. I will enclose front of house with them. I have red oak tree coming down that I will use for dining room table. My glass enclosure will be initially used to dry oak. Down the road I expect to use for greenhouse.
 
Sounds like a similar concept to how earthship homes are built. Check em out if you are not familiar. Lots of cool passive solar and passive heating/cooling techniques used in them.
