If you can see a strip of plain concrete between the base of the cladding and the ground then you re looking at one end of a very effective thermal bridge that will leak heat.

For decades wasted heat was considered unavoidable in north american buildings with exposed slab edges.
All slab floors required.
A raised floor is also used to raise the building above a floodplain.
You add slab edges by selecting horizontal edges of floors.
Monitored heat loss reduction for the uninsulated r 0 prototype in radiant floor heating mode suggests 50 higher edge heat flux relative to forced air mode operation.
Monitoring of the r 10 prototype mockup indicated slab edge loss reductions of close to 90 in the sacramento climate.
Protection of exposed foundation insulation.
