[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Perimeter insulation (again)

[Clarke Olsen]

    Good practice, structural as well as thermal, is not to bring the 
slab out
    under the wall. Keeping the slab inside and bringing the wall down 
to bear
    on the foundation reduces slab cracking, improves thermal envelope.
