Default Is there much of an R value to sheetrock?

I'm getting ready to do the exterior walls in my garage (workshop)

pegboard at HD that would be kind of cool to use. My question is how
much of a loss would I suffer if I JUST used the pegboard and skipped
the sheetrock (1/2") altogether? The garage will be heated. The
dimensions are 20x20x11 and it is new construction.


Sheet rock is easy to repair. If you have a working shop,
you'll be moving tool boards around as you upgrade.
