Every time I see them, I wonder how they deal with insulation. Looking at the window frames being so thin, this can't have more than like 2-5cm of insulation on it. in an area with constant 25°C it might work though
If you want any tiny house/shipping container shows they usually discuss how it was insulated. And how can you tell the window frames are thin? Usually people can afford better quality windows/insulation/etc. in tiny homes because they don't need as much of it. Quality over quantity.
Well I saw a couple episodes of Tiny House Nation and I really have to say that what they call insulation isn't suiting my standards :)
And I just learned that houses under 50sqm don't need the so called Energy Pass, which usually is a must-have for housings in Europe to see how efficient they are and that passive houses have a way better energy efficiency than tiny houses. Just what I suspected.
As cool as the idea of tiny houses may be, if it's boiling in summer and freezing in winter, it's unfortunately no option for me. Damn.
I don't typically like the shipping container look, so I don't know as much about them. However, I think other tiny houses have a lot more options for insulation. YouTube Living Big in A Tiny House - I love that channel. They have some hybrid Tiny Houses/Earth Homes on that channel which you may find interesting if you are into the energy stuff.

I'm with hamburg on the insulation case.
