I built a 16X38 building in my back yard in August to October 1988. I insulated all walls and ceilings on both floors. When temperatures are in the high 90s, the bottom is about 80 or so with no A/C. A small window unit keeps it comfotably cool. If I leave it on low or medium, it stays that way. Upstairs, it is much hotter, but a bit larger window unit, left on medium-low keeps it very comfortable after it is once cooled.
I've just about got everything moved downstairs now. I can still get up and down the stairs, but with a lot more difficulty than when I built it. I use electric heaters in the winter, but only when I'm out there.
So you can see, insulation in every place truly pays off, comfort-wise and penny-wise.
