A thermal insulated concrete forming system for casting a concrete slab and a foundation wall of a building simultaneously is disclosed. The concrete forming system is designed for use with a pre-existing standard concrete footing that is constructed about the periphery of a concrete slab to be poured. The concrete forming system consists of a plurality of elongated, rectangular panels which are arranged in parallel, vertically opposed relation. The panels are fabricated from thermal-insulating materials having exceptional insulating characteristics capable of being expressed as a specific R value in accordance with commercial specifications. The thermal-insulated panels are interconnected by a plurality of brace members extending therebetween and being spaced at predetermined intervals so as to provide a form work for concrete to be cast therein. The thermal-insulated panels are assembled in a predetermined relationship to control the vertical elevation and thickness of a concrete slab and a foundation wall which are simultaneously cast therein the concrete forming system is disposed on a top surface of a standard concrete footing and remains in place to provide peripheral insulation of the slab and foundation wall to reduce the heating and cooling load on the building so constructed. The concrete forming system can be pre-assembled in accordance with appropriate dimensions in a workshop in preparation for pouring a concrete slab on a remote job site.
