The present invention is directed to a unique thermal insulation panel (1). More specifically, the present invention is directed to a vacuum insulated panel (1) formed of a highly impermeable evacuated envelope (10) that is supported by a thermal barrier (20) made of a macro-structural support structure having a cell or void size of 0.5 micron or greater. Preferably, the panel (1) includes a getter material. Further, the present invention is directed to a thermal insulation barrier (20) of a macro-structural structure. Preferably, the barrier (20) is formed of elements (26, 28) having a geometric shape of a repetitive three-dimensional design that permits stacking of one thermal insulation element (26, 28) with another thermal insulation element (26, 28) having a complimentary geometric shape, and which locks movement of adjacent thermal insulation elements (26, 28) in at least one of the directions 90 degrees to the stacking direction. |
