I noticed that the snow on my roof melts much faster than on my neighbors’ roofs. This surprises me because I have a low-energy house with an insulated ceiling and a double-ventilated cold roof. The neighbors have “standard” houses with knee walls and insulated roofs. Does anyone have an idea why my roof seems to lose more heat? I’m worried there might be insufficient insulation.

That would make me suspicious and also bother me. Especially during rapid thawing, insulation defects become apparent. There are also options to detect weak points using thermal imaging. However, that can be quite costly.
Best regards
