Insulating floors
Floors are classified as:
-
ground floors, in contact directly, or indirectly with ground.
-
exposed floors, forming lowest part of structure over unenclosed airspace (e.g. balcony).
-
semi-exposed floors, lowest part of a structure over an enclosed but unheated space (e.g. a floor over a garage).
-
intermediate floors, having heated space above and below.
Ground floors may be groundbearing (Figure 25) or suspended (Figure 26): all other floors are, by definition, suspended.
