Good day everyone,

we are planning the ceiling on the upper floor as a concrete ceiling instead of a wooden structure - now it is about the insulation in the upper floor/roof.

According to the energy saving regulations, the roof no longer needs to be insulated, insulation on the concrete ceiling is also sufficient.
The attic space is not used by us (city villa - 2 full floors) as living space, but only as utility space.

Since full rafter insulation is of course significantly more expensive, the question arises whether insulation on the concrete ceiling is sufficient?

Just to make sensible use of the space in the attic, I would insulate the roof and not the concrete ceiling.

I hadn't seen that, thank you! Thread can thus be closed

Oh, if only the OP would get into the habit of linking their main threads for house planning when asking individual questions. I currently don’t have time to dig deep into your thread history – so I can’t assess what the point could be of installing a concrete ceiling on the upper floor if there is only storage space above. I doubt anyone will be storing coal there
Yes, I fully agree here with ceiling instead of roof – considering the consequence of a temperate storage room – but I just can’t follow the question of why concrete.

Advantages are thermal and sound insulation, no fire hazard, cracks between drywall and masonry.
