Ditto Davester. Great suggestions.
FWIW I had a room in my house also not getting enough heat, or AC. I initially attributed it to the same reasons you listed - corner room, 2 big windows. Also it's above the unheated garage, so there's no radiant heat rising up from above, as in other rooms. Had a HVAC guy come out to test airflow with a sensor because the vent felt a little weaker than others - turns out the duct feeding that room was damaged in construction of the house, and it was getting a fraction of the air intended.
This was new construction, not even an older house, so it goes to show, anything can go wrong. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's working.
