In many domestic and industrial buildings a thick concrete slab, supported on Foundation s or directly on the sub soil, is used to construct the ground floor of a building. In high rises buildings and Skyscraper s, thinner, pre-cast concrete slabs are slung between the Steel frames to form the floors and ceilings on each level. THERMAL PERFOMANCE Concrete slabs typically have a high Thermal Mass . In older buildings, concrete slabs cast directly on the ground can drain heat from a room. In modern construction techniques, concrete slabs are usually cast on top of thicker layers of Insulation , for example Expanded Polystyrene , and may contain Underfloor Heating . Even so their thermal mass can lead to a delay warming the room when the heating is switched on. SEE ALSO |
