I’m building a shop for a guy who wants to work comfortably in his tee shirt, no matter what the temperature outside. The shop will have heating, air conditioning, and insulation. He wants a garage door that does not compromise the thermal performance of the building much. It needs to be insulated, and the seals around the edges need to be air-tight. Anybody know of a supplier for this kind of door? If not, anybody got any suggestions about how to build it?

What kind of a shop is this? If it is a wood shop or similar the need for a big door is very limited.
Instead of an overhead door you an use a double doors or sliding doors that clamp down for the times that you need to move large equipement or supplies.
The 98.3% of the time a 36" door is more than enough.
*Wayne Dalton makes a door that has an R-12. That the highest R-Value that I had seen for garage doors.
