Hello!
Our double garage is currently under construction.
I would like to hear your opinions on whether insulating the concrete ceiling is worthwhile, as there seem to be differing views on this.
Here is some information about our project to help you give more informed feedback:
The 6 x 6.7 m (20 x 22 ft) double garage with a dividing wall is not connected to the house and is located freestanding in the front garden area.
Floor structure: about 65 cm (26 inches) of gravel, strip foundation, approximately 15 cm (6 inches) thick waterproof concrete in the center, without insulation, about 6 cm (2.5 inches) screed
Masonry: 17.5 cm (7 inches) calcium silicate blocks, lime-cement plaster with insulating components
Iso 45 doors from Novoferm
Flat shed roof with a 6% slope
Cars will be parked there and some storage for garden items, etc.
No DIY work or hobby activities planned. No heating installed.
Under these conditions, is insulating the concrete ceiling really necessary?

I also think it doesn’t make much sense to insulate only the ceiling of an unheated garage.
We will probably skip the insulation, just lay a bitumen membrane on the roof after concreting, and that’s it.
I will consider the ventilation. Exactly!
Our garage will be insulated, including the interior walls.
As others have mentioned, good ventilation is essential.
It is integrated into our ventilation plan.
There is also a LAN connection (for the charging station) and a Wi-Fi access point.
Either go all in or not at all. Otherwise, you’ll create more problems. In most areas, it doesn’t get so cold that you’ll experience below-freezing temperatures in an uninsulated garage.
It’s better to install a duct fan.
