If thought it got hotter inside your office than outside because the glass is blocking the infrared light everything in the room is re-emitting. So I would think a smart room would start letting to pass infrared light when a certain threshold temperature is reached.
The heat of the sun does not reach us by means of infrared light but mostly by the visible.
Maybe New Scientist is just wrong.
