Building Science, everyone's favorite building physics shop, has released an interesting cast study analysis on the effectiveness of 15 different foundation insulation systems. The analysis is an extension of a 2009 study by Dr. Straube and Smegel which now includes assemblies ranging from code compliant to those reaching R-45. The paper is fantastic in terms of its depth and scope and should prove useful to designers out there both trying to test the limits of building efficiency or simply trying to meet code.
The full analysis can be found here.
