Dear forum,
We are currently planning our single-family house with an uninsulated basement without heating, due to cost reasons. The basement will be used solely for storage and is completely underground. The house is intended to meet the KFW 55 standard.
Is the omission of insulation problematic, or will it affect the ground floor?
