Using EDPM sill seal, what is the best practice for and type of termite shield?

I was planning on placing an alum sheet, the seal then PT 3/4" x 6.5",  then a 2x6 (5.5") then the Sips panels.

This way the sips is 3/4" off the slab

I think that aluminum and damp concrete are a bad combination (corrosion).

An article on this subject was published a year ago - http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/sites/default/files/Air-sealed%20Mudsill%20Assembly.pdf seems like an excellent solution to your sill gasket/termite shield requirement.
