Building Science Mistake to Avoid: Installing underslab insulation without a thermal break at the foundation wall

"Underslab insulation is an excellent energy-efficiency improvement, since the earth below the slab is typically much cooler than we prefer to keep our homes. Unfortunately, the efficacy of this fairly simple and inexpensive detail can be largely undone if the slab is poured in direct contact with the footing or foundation wall.

Only by providing a thermal break at the slab edge will an insulated slab perform as intended. Without it, the first 4 ft. to 6 ft. of the slab near the foundation wall will remain much colder than the rest of the floor as heat is lost to the cool earth on the other side of the foundation. This will rob the home of its intended comfort and efficiency." —Travis Brungardt, Catalyst Construction, Prairie Village, Kan.
