That doesn't work here. You would have to heat the building or the pipes will freeze and crack.

We had a fair size pole shed built at the museum a few years ago for storage of some of the less sensitive artifacts. We cannot have electricity (lights or a plug) because to have that the fire code says we need to have a sprinkler system, and to have sprinklers we need to insulate and have heat. The addition of lights would take a simple $50,000 shed and turn it into several hundred thousand dollar structure.
