I am putting together a pole barn with metal sheeting for myself. I am going with glass batts due to price. 6-8" walls and 12" roof. There has been some large discussion recently on radiant energy passing through the metal sheeting and the use a a radiant blocker would help.
I don't know if I can read much into that. The primary focus of radiant energy is on the outside, heating up the metal which in turn might create its own radiant source but I fail to see how a radiant blocker would do any more than good old glass insulation at mitigating the heat.
I am just trying to determine if I need to specify an additional "something" between the metal sheeting and glass insulation.
