Infrared light is not the same as visible light. Why would you assume that letting visible light in would also imply letting infrared in?
I think the idea here is that controlling the temperature of your house with a heating/cooling system would be much more efficient if your house is better insulated. The fact that this also lets in natural light, makes it better for a living space since you wouldn’t need artificial light. I really don’t think it’s that hard to understand.
