If she doesn't have Seasons, she doesn't have a greenhouse.
The greenhouse should protect from cold (that's what they're for, after all) but will not protect from heatstroke. If you look at Cyjon's extremely useful study of how death works in Sims2, you'll see that cold does not kill sims directly; apparent "freezing to death" is due to hunger depletion. Heatstroke also has a very small chance of causing spontaneous combustion. The biggest danger from heatstroke is the removal of children by the social worker. If you decide to go with greenhouse residences, make sure to supply plenty of sinks and lemon juice to cool down the kids in the summer. Heatstroke and freezing also reduce motive bars, which makes the sim more vulnerable to a fatal result from shock, hail, Murphy bed, etc.

The easiest way to make greenhouses livable all year round would be to set all the seasons to spring and fall, when temperature extremes are unlikely. But that may not suit you. Another method would be to make your aliens all plantsims, for whom greenhouse living should be optimal, but that would be a pretty drastic approach.
