30cm knee wall at 25 degrees. That’s worthwhile. The ceiling is concrete… but also initially as a cold roof.

Best regards, Steffen

Then you should have balanced out the missing percentages.

But you do know the difference between [Kalt-] and [Warmdach], right?

Hm – you are probably right there. I have used the term more colloquially for “not intended as/for living space.” Should anyone have misunderstood this by accident, here is a quote from PREFA again:

A cold roof has, unlike the warm roof, a ventilation layer between the roof covering and the thermal insulation.
A warm roof is a roof construction where there is no ventilation between the roof substructure and the roof covering!

So the term "cold roof" should also apply to my case – the ceiling of the upper floor is insulated. There is still enough space with air circulation between the roof covering and the upper floor ceiling.

But I think that those reading along here have already understood that my roof is not suitable for living purposes and (I had written it under #31) the insulation of the upper floor ceiling was done.

However, I am not from the construction field and therefore tend to phrase things more in layman’s terms.

I think that a cold roof also won't fit for you - nowadays it is rarely built because it is more complicated.

My attic is completely unfinished (except for the 60mm wood fiberboards) and is still a warm roof.

As already mentioned – I am a layman in construction.
In our attic, I can see the foil membrane.
Let’s agree on the following: For me, it is a cold roof because I cannot heat it and it is cold in winter. In summer, however, it will not be a warm roof, even if it gets very warm up there.
