7 hrs confidence: 
non-insulated attic Explanation: Kallvind has nothing to do with heated attic or not, but it is an attic that is not insulated and often ventilated to the outside according to the description on the website below. Thus, the kall part of the word refers to lack of insulation, not lack of heat. Reference: http://www.trygghetsvakten.se/fuktordboken/kallvind/ |
