[DIY] Utility room insulation?

 

The machinery for the heat pump is installed in a 12'x12' "attic" space and the duct work runs from there to both upstairs and downstairs.  We originally insulated the walls that face the house but the back wall is open to the uninsulated barn.  It's an angle approx 2' at the lowest point up to 6'+ where it meets the inside wall - 12' wide.  I was planning to insulate that wall plus the short exterior side wall, and ceiling area, that is accessible.  But happened to think the unit might put out heat and maybe we should leave some area open rather than closing it in completely? The new doors are all in and we've finished insulating all the remaining exterior walls, ceilings, etc.  I don't want to leave any big gaps that might negate what we've done but neither do I want to enclose it so tight we might create a condensation problem.


What would you recommend?
