Ground Contact Slab Modeling

How do you model the external adjacency for a ground-contact slab? This site recommends using ground temperatures of 2C below average internal temperatures (for large commercial buildings) and to not include ground material. Is this the recommended approach, and is it a constant temperature profile? What about for small or mid-size commercial buildings?
