Method and system for insulating structural building components

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention relates to a structural assembly including a first frame member hingedly coupled to a second frame member. A support member extends outwardly from the first frame member. At least one glazing panel is disposed above the support member. A thermal clip is coupled to the support member. The thermal clip insulates the support member from a building exterior. The support member extends less than an entire length thereof and reduces loss of thermal energy from a building interior to the building exterior via the support member.

1. A structural assembly comprising:
a first frame member hingedly coupled to a second frame member; a support member extending outwardly from the first frame member; at least one glazing panel disposed above the support member; a thermal clip coupled to the support member and extending outwardly from the support member, the thermal clip insulating the support member from a building exterior, the thermal clip comprising; a top member; a bottom member; an outer cross member; an inner cross member; and an air gap defined by the top member, the bottom member, the outer cross member, and the inner cross member; and wherein the support member extends underneath only a partial portion of the at least one glazing panel underneath the at least one glazing panel and reduces loss of thermal energy from a building interior to the building exterior.
