Insulating your Concrete Slab Foundation
insulating the concrete slab foundation of peckham architecture’s leed platinum, Phius certified home office was our first step toward net-positive energy.
Your home’s foundation, walls, doors, windows, ceiling and roof all act as thermal bridges: areas where energy typically escapes. Proper insulation of thermal bridges is essential for maintaining stable indoor temperatures.
To reduce heat transfer, we installed extruded polystyrene foam insulation beneath our concrete slab foundation.
Episode 3 of our Green Building Series shows how concrete slab insulation can save energy and dramatically reduce long-term costs in a green building.
