Exposed Flooring At Slab Edge

A raised floor foundation has many pros and fits most project applications.

Exposed flooring at slab edge. Protection of exposed foundation insulation. Architecture tabbuild panelfloor drop down floor. All slab floors required. Slab edge highlight horizontal edges of floors and click to place a slab edge.

Slab edge insulation is one of. 1 heated slab on grade floors and 2 unheated slab on grade floors. One of two classes for floors in contact with ground. If the building site has problematic soil such as expansive clays a raised floor foundation would perform much better than slab as slab would most likely crack on this type of soil.

Monitoring of the r 10 prototype mockup indicated slab edge loss reductions of close to 90 in the sacramento climate. You can place slab edges in 2d views such as plan or section views or in 3d views. If you can see a strip of plain concrete between the base of the cladding and the ground then you re looking at one end of a very effective thermal bridge that will leak heat. Watch the status.

Monitored heat loss reduction for the uninsulated r 0 prototype in radiant floor heating mode suggests 50 higher edge heat flux relative to forced air mode operation. Heated slab on grade floors include all floors that are heated directly in order to provide heating to the space. Conventional exposed slab edges create a thermal bridge in the otherwise continuous insulation of the building envelope rapidly conducting heat away from the interior floor slab through the envelope and into the exterior environment. You add slab edges by selecting horizontal edges of floors.
