No code defines insulation between the floors though. As insulator as well as thermal mass, Hebel will not be transferring heat, e.g. if you put it on fire, the inner layer of Hebel will be only few degrees warmer while the outer layer will be thousand degrees hot, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohKp3uoifqg 1000000% definitely add insulation.
