My shed reaches temps around 104 - 109 during the summer mid-day hours. With fans, windows and doors open I can get it down to the high 90's most days. It has a white metal roof over a plastic membrane on OSB sheathing. I plan to put in R-19 single faced fiberglass roll insulation, but due to the design of the roof truss structure, not sure which method would be best. The roof does have a ridge vent. I am hoping to get the heat load down in the summer but also will have to heat in the winter.
This is the roof configuration:
.
Which would be most effective: A - Running to the peak while leaving the vent open; B - running over the cross truss leaving the top section uninsulated; or a combination.?
I do plan on AC/heat of some sort but would like to get a better idea of the temperature load I will be dealing with before deciding what I really will need.
Thanks for any insight you may have on this issue.
