Hello.
We want to have a storage room in the basement for vegetables and other food items.
This room should be cool.
Since we plan to insulate quite well (KfW55), the energy consultant said the basement wouldn’t really get cold. It would probably stay at least 15°C (59°F).
Has anyone ever excluded a room like this from the insulation? What have your experiences been? Is it rather problematic?
In our case, there is also the option to insulate the basemented garage differently from the main house. It wouldn’t be quite as practical as a storage room, since you’d always have to walk through the entire basement.
I’m curious how you have solved this.

And I built a few supermarkets in the surrounding area.

Other food items such as canned goods and durum wheat are stored in the utility room next to the kitchen, in a wall cabinet. Below it is our secondary refrigerator.
Last year's potato harvest was stored in the garage: neatly arranged side by side in a large basket on a shelf, covered with a dish towel. Beetroot and kohlrabi are harvested fresh and not stored.
I am planning a greenhouse. Recently, it will be around 8 square meters (instead of 4), so that, among other things, storage is possible there if needed.
Edit: I just realized that storage is naturally not possible in the greenhouse during summer temperatures.
