deep energy retrofit that a client of ours did to an
uninsulated concrete block schoolhouse building. It had an
existing uninsulated slab on grade. The client was a PE, and
as I recall, he did a number of tests and dealt with it quite
creatively:<br>

Listers<br>
<br>
I hope some of you are still here!<br>
<br>
I've bought a home in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. It's an Upper
Canada Post <br>
and Beam with Board & Batten siding. I know I will have
to upgrade <br>
insulation, but have a question about the basement. It's a
walkout and <br>
will be regularly used for living space. It is currently
carpeted, but <br>
that will be recycled when I take possession. I want to
insulate the <br>
concrete slab and have looked at the insultaing versions of
DryCore and <br>
Amvic, under a hard surface (bamboo )<br>
<br>
I've never insulated an existing slab (always insulated under
them when <br>
building). Anyone use either of these products or something
better? <br>
Lower area is about 900sq feet. Walkout is open to the NW.<br>
<br>
Hope everyone is well.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
Lynelle<br>
