I am currently building a storage section for our carport.

This is how it looks now (from outside and in):

Outer panel (facade)
Sparsely spaced panel 28x70
Wind protection
Insulation (between the wall's beams)
Plastic
OSB board

What I'm wondering is if I can fit a sparsely spaced panel between the plastic and the OSB board? To run electric conduits, etc. I also want to bring the wall in a bit to go inside the leca blocks that the wall stands on so the boards can go all the way down to the concrete floor.

This would create a void between the OSB boards and the plastic.

Does this work or does it interfere with the insulation in some way? That there is an extra void before the boards themselves? It feels like it shouldn't matter... but I don't really know myself.

Best regards
 
If you want it permanently heated, you need to have the plastic 1/3 into the wall from the warm side. One way to solve this is to install a framework like 45x45 outside the plastic and run the electricity in this layer, plus you can also insulate it. This gives you better insulation and enough space for boxes, etc.
 
Had not planned to keep the storage permanently heated...

If you are not going to have it permanently heated, I would suggest that instead of putting plastic, you use a vapor retarder, such as isover vario.

Aha, does it work better than plastic for an insulated cold storage?

A steam brake adapts to the humidity in the air, which is why it is better suited for spaces that are not constantly heated, but also in regular buildings. Go and Google Isover Vario, and you will find more information about it.
