Yes. Shelter it from the wind and put it outside.
Am I missing what the problem is?

I wouldn't leave the PVC cover closed, though, to keep a bit of air flow.

So I have a dismantled greenhouse sitting in my shed (If need I'll put it back together) its looks like the picture attached but the material is green in colour. Will my Chinese Elm be happy in that?

Main issue with wind is knocking your trees over &/or drying them out (producing die back). Some of my trees need water every day, so while I'm out there, I give a general misting to all. No wind-related issues.
Google 'bonsai garden' & you'll find very few with full windscreens. Some have walls, like a courtyard. Some have a windbreak of trees (like I have). Some have greenhouses. It's whatever you wallet allows.

If this is the case how do I avoid dormancy?
Am I right to put it outside for summer and to bring it in winter?
Do Chinese elms requires a dormancy period?
I'd like to keep it as a indoor bonsai but I'm putting it outside for a bit so it can grow and then I can take it back inside.
Thank you in advance
I've added a picture of my mini greenhouse to give you an idea of what I'm putting it in for summer.
