These glasses are meant to enhance visibility from inside the structure and they also allow light to easily get into the building. Favourable temperatures are retained by these glass structures, which in the past in the case of orangeries were used to promote growth of the plants, but nowadays it's an economic way of heating the room - re-using the natural heat from the sun.
