A106.3 Insulation description. Coefficients are provided for the following three configurations:
1. Two foot (or four foot) vertical: Insulation is applied directly to the slab exterior, extending downward from the top of the slab to a depth of 2 feet (or 4 feet) below grade.
2. Two foot (or four foot) horizontal: Insulation is applied directly to the underside of the slab, and run horizontally from the perimeter inward for 2 feet (or 4 feet). The slab edge is exposed in this configuration.
Note: | A horizontal installation with a thermal break of at least R-5 at the slab edge should use the vertical-case F-factors. |
3. Fully insulated slab: Insulation extends from the top of the slab, along the entire perimeter, and completely covers the area under the slab. Thicker perimeter insulation covers the slab edge and extends 2 feet under the slab.
