STUDY ON INSULATION SKIRT WITH BASEMENT WALL INSULATION FOR DETUCHED HOUSES IN HOKKAIDO

Abstract

Design criteria of the ground thermal insulation around vertical edge insulation on foundation wall is studied in this report. There are variation in the size of ground insulation, such as width, thickness, and depth of overburden of insulation board. Influence of such sizes of thermal insulation on frost depth are discussed. They are discussed based on some results of simulations of frost depth and measurements of ground temperature around full scale experimental house.
