Attic Access Location – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Climate Zone 3A/4A – N GA area
Full gut reno
Our attic is unconditioned & ventilated. We have a bonus room upstairs that will be conditioned. We’re taking careful precautions to make sure this is well air sealed from the attic space. I’m looking for advice regarding where to put the attic access. Is it better to put a well insulated attic access door with weatherstripping inside the conditioned bonus room? Or would putting a pulldown attic door with a ladder in the unconditioned attached garage be best?
