Re: insulating a garage
Foam sheathing (rigid insulaiton board) or duct board can be easily cut and snapped into place on your garage door panels. That will make a large difference in the heating from solar radiation on the garage doors. If the walls are finished inside, then you may already have insulation in them, depending on the age of the home. Mine does and it is 15 years old. Otherwise you could put the insulation board on the walls as well.
As for air, RPB is correct, do NOT put a duct into your gargage as it will violate code. You would be better off buying a[url=http://www.homedepot.com/b/webapp/catal ... 5yc1vZc4m4[/url] stand alone air unit for summer and use a quartz space heater for winter.
