Type of Insulation for unconditioned storage building

| Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on
Greetings,
I’m currently building a 24×36 storage buidling with shed roofs on the sides for storing larger items such as a boat, UTV, log splitter, etc. I don’t plan to condtion the space at this time, but at some point down the road, that could change.
Given this, I’ll be insulating the space as I plan to finish the walls/ceiling. I believe I should use faced insulation since I may condition the space in the future, but am not positive.
Can you all please advise?
Thanks for your assistance.
Terry

my first choice would be foil faced foam boards.
Facing will prevent fiberglass from 'floating around' in your space until you apply interior finish. Technically, you maybe should have a flame spread rated finish on it (by fire code). That MAY be a foil faced insulation. They do make vinyl faced insulation for metal building construction intended for use w/out other interior finish.
