Our green house(and our people house as well) is built out of Hebel AAC- Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, Which is a building block with a very high insulation value. that originated in Germany. My father was one of the first to import them to this country for house construction. The green house has solid concrete floor and back wall up to grade (about halfway up the back) with 4" of foundation foam between that and the earth. The upper half of the back and the northwest end are buillt of 12" AAC, and the other two sides and roof are wood frames with used tripple pane grocery store type glass freezer doors. We plug in a little electric radiator on some of the very cold nights (below 20). and can start plants in there in late februarry without worrying about freezing. We do use a grow light on a timer to extend the days in the early spring. Here in WV I am further south than you are, but at 3000 ft we still get pretty good winters.
