How to insulate a barn?
I have a barn that I want to create an insulated workshop in half. This will mean insulating 2 exterior walls. It is modern 2x4 construction on a concrete slab. It does not have a moisture barrier on the panel siding, so it gets some light seepage at seams. How show I handle insulated these section so I don't create a water problem. There are a few pieces of fiberglass insulation that you can see have trapped water and grown mold. I was thinking about nailing strapping to the broad faces of the studs and fitting rigid foam so that there is a breathing space behind. Any other ideas?

You will have to make the exterior water tight or you will just compound the problems. So, put on an exterior that is water proof.

you will need to stop the water infiltration from the outside, this isn’t good for the wood framing let alone the insulation
