Slab Floors

Hello,

I have noticed that when entering detailed mode from the design wizard that equest has put together the layers for underground floors.

I have selected concrete floor on ground with no insulation in the wizard. What I have noticed is that Equest will produce layers using some custom materials for this slab. The material will be called something like "EL1 UFMat (G.NE1.U2.M1)". this material will have some arbitrary R value. it seems that Equest will generate several different layers for different spaces using different materials like this. The materials will have different arbitrary R values.

My question is what are these supposed to represent, and should they be left there for accurate simulation? Also wondering why the R values are all different.

Thank you,
