comment How do I insulate interior basement walls that are not against the exterior walls?
You can use put XPS under it. Depends what you are using - if PTE, then just a gasket is needed.

There is a special adhesive needed to attach XPS - "PL 300". Furring strips can also be used provided that you use XPS that has channels for them already built in. You can use PTE with sill gasket if you wish - you could even use a piece of composite decking. But the plate should be anchored through it all to the slab

You can cut the XPS and use it to insulate joists and other areas - typically you seal it with caulking or great stuff. all of the XPS seams should be sealed with tape
