Dear forum,
we are facing some decisions regarding our planned prefabricated house project with the company Bien-Zenker.
First of all, it is about the decision on insulation.
By default, Bien-Zenker has a Kfw-40 exterior wall + KfW-40 windows, the rest is standard, i.e. labeled as an energy-saving house by them.
We are therefore considering additional insulation under the floor slab, as this can no longer be done later, plus insulation of the front side of the floor slab.
Furthermore, the company offers additional insulation of the upper floor ceiling to the unconverted attic. To bring the house completely up to KfW-40, the roof would then still have to be insulated?
What insulation do you recommend and which are the most efficient?
For example, does insulation of the roof actually bring any benefit (in winter as well as in summer) if the ceiling to the attic is already insulated?
Thank you very much!
