It looks like the EPS will remain after all....
6cm EPS
9cm screed
Together with the room in one piece.
Is that okay or compliant with regulations regarding structure-borne sound?
So your 1,000-liter buffer tank ultimately rests on EPS insulation? I can't judge whether the 9cm screed can handle it, but at least our craftsman said that EPS insulation always gives a little.
9cm screed takes ages to dry. Normally, screed thickness is somewhere between 45 and 65mm.
With structure-borne sound, as long as there is no contact between the screed and the raw floor or the walls, there's no problem.
You can neglect the structure-borne sound – in a direct comparison between EPS and XPS. That's more of a subjective issue. More interesting is the setup with the buffer tank. In my case, the entire technical room was lined with 50mm XPS and above it 60mm cement screed without underfloor heating.
