Most important, if the garage is part of the house you want to air-seal and insulate it from the living space. I'm talking from roof down to the slab. If there's living space above the garage then insulate the garage ceiling really well (Mineral Wool, Cellulose).
Air seal from the living space is required by code in the US. And I think insulation is as well. But it would be nice to also insulate the walls in the garage that aren't shared with the living space. Also forgot to mention to get insulated garage doors.
Yep. In the US codes are administered on the local and state level. The individual states themselves are on different versions and enforcement isn't always consistent. Doesn't help that builders don't always adhere to code either.
