Your going to have to find a profesional HVAC engineer/person to do a “heat/cool” loss on your house. This will take into account all aspects of heat/cool loss of the home your designing. A house of glass will take an incredible amount of cooling, but then again, it will depend on what type of glass ect… that you use. A person will need blueprint, materials list etc…. in order to do a proper heat/cool load on the home.

You have to stop the energy before it gets inside the house. Overhanging eaves for shade, plus reflective glass will help a lot. I found the reference by googling “solar reflective glass”
