EPS is what they use but geocell should work as wellThis is where I hesitate to use plastic insulations, as horizontal skirt outboard of the building perimeter. Here it really is a little or a lot or accidentally exposed to the elements, and to mechanical distruption due to imposed ground loads varying over time.
