<div></div>Hi,<br><br>If you go for the standard 0.73 F-Factor slab on grade 
floor and then check the LV-E report all your floors on the ground level are 
below ground and have very low U-values.<br><br>Is this correct behaviour? It 
seems that the slab is essentially R-33<br><br>thanks<br>Norm<br></div></div></div>
