TRNSYS has an excellent slab-on-grade model with perimeter insulation that
was tested as part of the IEA Task 34/43 work and earned the tag of
"reference standard". The only building simulation tool model to do so.
The other two reference standards were models developed in Fluent and
Matlab. You may want to get yourself a copy of that report as it details
the advantages and disadvantages of the current simlation tool models for
slab-on-grade construction.
