Hi,
I am a new member here, but have been a DIYer for a while. My newest project is a conversion of the shed into a darkroom. I need to keep the shed at a constant temperature all year round, and therefore am looking into some form of air conditioner. In order to make the air conditioner more effective, I reckon that I am gonna need to do plenty of insulating, something which I know nothing about (my DIY involves wood, metal and electrickery normally). I was wondering if any of you may be able to help me with the right choice of insulation for a shed that doesn't get too cold in winter, but gets very warm in the summer. The temperature needs to be kept at around 22 degrees. Being a darkroom, opening the door is not an option, so the shed will be completely closed to the outside world most of the time. I will need to put in some light proof, and dust proof(?!?) vents also, in case you have any suggestions. I hope that you may be able to help.
Cheers
Lee
