Hello everyone!
We're having a bit of a debate at home regarding the exterior wall of a garage that is occasionally heated to about 15-18 degrees when needed.
The wall from the inside: drywall, chipboard, wall studs 145x45, horizontal 45x45, panel 22x145 with 22x45 cover.
The dispute: one party says that the horizontal 45x45 should have insulation in between and should be used as nail battens (plastic after insulation).
The other party: Me, claims that there must be an air gap between the plastic and the panel and that these 45x45 are usually framed on the inside and not the outside.
Hope I’m making myself understood?

These 45X45 can be used on the outside, but then you need to add a nail strip.
My wall from inside to outside was: 2X gypsum board, moisture barrier, vertical 145x45, horizontal 45X45, wind barrier, horizontal 22X45 (actually 22X95 that I split), panel.
This solution provides good insulation thickness, and you get vertical studs on the inside, making the installation of boards easy. The only disadvantage is that you have the moisture barrier directly inside the boards, which makes the electrical work a bit more complicated, but it's marginal.

partially, but there is a risk that it might remain unheated at some point.
A cold garage (building) can't keep up with temperature changes during winter. It gets cold inside, and when the sun comes out and warms the outside, it stays cold inside. The cold air inside then condenses on the inside of the plastic, and rot damage can occur.
Summer cottages often encounter this problem. If there are also plastic mats on the floors, then the problems are there.
