Hi @MikeAmann , Let's try this. Here is the same thing as an attachment. Hope it works

I keep my shop at 68, plenty warm for even sitting at the computer. The key is warm feet.
68 gets a bit too warm is I am doing some heavy work. Like sanding a cutting board

The people that erect the metal building should be familiar with what insulation works best in your area. The white plastic/ foil faced fiberglass is common everywhere I have worked on metal. It can be a finished surface. Maybe plywood behind work areas of for hanging tools, etc.

Not sure if you had considered a Morton pole barn building; they also insulate them
based on the local weather conditions in mind as well.

I read Larry. I must have done something right with my house (that I am now forced to sell) because the boiler has been completely disconnected all winter and the interior temperature never went below 33 degrees while it was -2 outside. The only appliance running is the refrigerator.
