In addition to what others have said, consider filtering and 
recirculating the exhaust air back into the shop, or at least include 
some sort of valve to allow that as an option.

Sucking heated or cooled air out just means you have to replace it with 
newly conditioned ($$$) air. Recirculation can save on heating/cooling 
cost as long as all the nasty little particulates are filtered out.
