I am looking for guidance on how to best ventilate and insulate this shed roof. I am in climate zone 5, in central Indiana. The roof will be standing seam metal, roof decking is 5/8 zip, and have a 2′ drop ceiling framed in.

    bgcall,

    I would use blown cellulose. Depending on how much depth you have in the cathedral area you may need baffles over the full length to form a ventilated gap.
