Perimeter insulation width

Numeric field indicating the width of the perimeter insulation measured from the slab edge (in m or ft). Valid range is from > 0 to < 0.5 x smallest slab width.

Vertical Insulation

Include horizontal insulation

Checkbox indicates whether vertical insulation is present.

Vertical insulation

Material representing the vertical slab insulation. Only required if vertical insulation is present.

Vertical insulation depth

The depth measured (in m or ft) from the ground surface to which the vertical perimeter insulation extends. Valid range is from > Slab thickness to < Domain depth.
