The effect of edge insulation on the steady-state heat loss through a slab-on-ground floor
Abstract This paper examines the effect of introducing edge insulation, either horizontally or vertically, on the heat loss from an otherwise uninsulated slab-on-ground floor. Factors are obtained in terms of the thickness of the insulation, its thermal conductivity, and its width (if horizontal) or depth (if vertical). These factors, when related to the exposed perimeter of the floor, can be combined with the heat loss through the floor without insulation, to give the heat loss from the edge-insulated floor. The predictions compare well with numerical calculations.
