Hello XXXXXXXX, and thank you for your question.

Yes, the National Canadian Building Code states that foamed insulation materials in a crawlspace or basement must be covered by a thermal barrier.
You may wish to contact your local building official for any local amendments, additions, or deletions to the building code relating to foamed insulation.
