I have an attached garage that I am converting half of to a heated workshop. The is a bedroom above it. The ceiling and 2 walls that are attached to the rest of the home are insulated. will this cause a problem if I insulate the other 2 walls and heat it? I am assuming there is vapor barrier already on the insulated walls.
Answer:
You won't do much good but you might try something else to warm up that bedroom: About the only system that appears to alleviate this sort of situation is to lower the garage ceiling creating a crawl space. The walls and floor of this crawl space are heavily insulated and the area heated. This makes the space above comparable to the rest of the house as regards heat.
