If he is heating that basement 20 degrees warmer than the ground temp he will get a very nice payback vs uninsulated  R14 vs R4  =  1599 btu's per hour  vs 7466 btu's per hour moving through that slab. there is more  exposed surface on that slab than there would be in all the exterior walls of of a 1120 sq ft single story home. This is why this is common practice in energy star homes.
