Description

Steady-state and nonsteady-state finite element analyses of the heat loss occurring from basement and slab-on-grade constructions have been performed. The amount of rigid foam insulation was varied on the perimeter of the walls and slab to determine the effectiveness of various insulation configurations. Annual heat losses per linear foot of wall or slab are reported for weather conditions and soil types of both Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska.
