Walkout BSMT Door Thermal Bridge

Pott0120 | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

Climate zone 5 in Salt Lake. I have a walkout basement and I am trying to understand how to best address the thermal bridge on the doorway.

The plan is to do under slab insulation and line the inside of the concrete footer/wall with 4″ of EPS. 

Do I just keep the foam going along the inside plane of wall and put the flooring over the top of it? Or do I put foam directly under the door frame?

Drawings attached. Thanks again for the help.
