Plant room insulation??

Hi,

 

I have a detached garage which houses the plant room and utility with a covered walkway attached to my house in which the pipes / electrics run.

 

my garage has been built in single skin 4” blocks. I am wondering if there is any point insulating the plant room or utility and if so what is the best way to do it?

 

thanks.

If your hot water tank or boiler are in there, then definitely insulate it. If MVHR is in there, also worth insulating. What you insulate with will depend on how much space you have available and what you are willing to spend. For example, can you lose internal room volume? How much?
