    We're insulating mostly from the winter cold. We typically get -20 in the winter... Summers sometimes reach 98 where this shed is located, but it'll be shaded. I'm both an electrician and an HVAC designer/installer. If we have to add air conditioning, we will, but I'm hoping ventilation will be the most I need. If not, we'll get a little portable a/c unit. For heat, we'll have to use electric heat, as heat pumps aren't feasible down to our low temps.

    I can't really add anything as far as building the shed but would recommend a roof fan that will suck all of the air out of the shed through floor level vents as quickly as possible.

    I know what you mean by the smell sticking to you. If you have a switch for that fan outside the shed you could just flip it on for a few minutes before you walk in. It makes a big difference, especially close to cleaning day.

    That's a great idea!
