Hello!
In our house construction, we are designing how the exterior walls/shell should be constructed but are having some difficulty finding exact answers.
In the image below we have (seen from the outside):
1. Exterior panel
2. Batten
3. Diffusion-open weather protection membrane
4. 80mm wood fiber board
5. OSB
6. Stud wall (light stud 350mm)
7. Diffusion-open vapor barrier
8. 45mm cellulose insulation
9. Wall stud (installation layer)
10. Panel/gypsum board/whatever they may become
I'm mainly uncertain about two things;
According to the manufacturers of the wood fiber boards, they can do without the weather protection membrane if they are not "particularly exposed."
Can the weather protection membrane then be moved inside to be outside the stud wall and possibly omit the OSB on the outside?
What are your thoughts?

Hi! Nice and thorough plan you’ve made. We are currently adding insulation with wood fiber boards and have received advice from the National Association of Homeowners' expert panel to use moisture projection from a consultant to ensure that it turns out well and with the right conditions. We were advised to look for someone interested in building conservation to avoid responses solely focused on modern materials. We are going to do that. Apparently, they don't need to come in person as they input data into the Wufi program. Apparently, you can do it yourself if you know a lot since there is some form of trial software available.

What's the point of the OSB? Is it to support loose-fill insulation in the stud wall? It feels a bit odd to have OSB there, but maybe it's just unusual to see it anywhere other than behind the gypsum. Make sure it's not too vapor-tight compared to the vapor barrier and wind barrier. I suppose there's not much glue in such a board anyway.
A heck of a lot of insulation
Will there be enough energy savings to recoup the construction cost within a reasonable time?

That looks like a really spaced-out wall construction to me!
Who came up with that, an environmentalist or what?

I also think it looks correct based on the type of sites we surf, which seems to be the same as you, but as I said, I give the same advice about a consultant instead, so it really gets done right... it's not fun like it is with us right now where everything is on hold because we didn't clearly order what we wanted from the carpenters from the start (since we didn't know enough, so I think you're being thorough!).N nicklas_json said:Hi!

1. Exterior cladding

3. Diffusion-open wind barrier

6. Framed wall (light studs 350mm)
7. Diffusion-open vapor barrier
8. 45mm cellulose insulation
9. Wall stud (installation layer)
10. Panel/drywall/whatever it will be
What I'm mainly unsure about are two things;
According to the manufacturers of the wood fiber boards, they can manage without a wind barrier if they are not "particularly exposed".
So can the wind barrier be moved inside to be outside the framed wall and perhaps skip the OSB on the exterior?
What are your thoughts?
