Well, it seems the steel frame is a problem with insulation.
In a cold climate you need an additional thermal break on the steel frame.
In non-technical terms:
- build your steel frame
- build a wooden frame on the outside of it
- attach your outside wall to the wooden frame
Some may question why use the steel frame at all.
