Whoa! I say! 240mm of cellulose fiber and another extra 50mm after the OSB. No wonder it still feels relatively warm now. This indeed much closer meets the passive haus standard! Good for you! smile

This is a very good setup! The only thing I would do different is I would fill the void below the floor with polyurethane. It's very important to have a well insulated floor, more important even than well insulated walls.

But this is nit picking. The rest of the setup is awesome!

Good choice, this avoids cold bridges entirely. But I wanted aluminium windows per sé because of the zero maintenance. smile
