We have what I believe is considered a "Cold room" in the finished portion of our basement. Inside is a capped off well and the main water shutoff to our home. We bought the home in May of this year and mainly use the room for storage. As you can see there is no insulation inside or on the door. As it has gotten colder outside I've noticed that there has been quite a bit of cold air coming from the sides of the door and the vent, which I have since blocked off. The vent was added by the prior owner because of condensation build up in the room. I blocked it off (by using a piece of cardboard and packing tape) because cold air was pouring through the vent and cooling down the area outside the room (which is also our family room). My office space is on the other side of the room from the cold room and as I write this my feet and hands are pretty chilly.
I've included some pics to give you a better idea of the space. I'm looking for some ideas on how to insulate the door and room. Would it be fine to just insulate the door and not the whole room?
Thanks for any help!
