Hello everyone,
despite a lengthy search, I have not been able to clarify the question regarding the insulation of our basement. Maybe you can help me?
We are building a single-family house with a basement made of 36cm Ytong. There is a granny flat and an office in the basement. The base slab has already been insulated with 10cm perimeter insulation. Both the energy consultant and the architect said that the basement does not need to be additionally insulated, as the Ytong also suffices as insulation here. The construction of the house is overall single-layer, so without insulation.
Does it make sense to have exterior insulation only for the basement, or can I save the money?
Best regards!
