I'm trying to help a customer compare insul-tarp to extruded styrene, anyone have resources where this info can be found?

    is a bunch of general observations about reflective insulation products under slabs:

    in summary, don't do it in a regular heated space. for things like snowmelt, where it's very periodic use and you need a thermal break more than true insulation, it can be ok.
