<p>A light admitting thermal insulating structure having controllable transmissivity to visible radiation comprises a first layer generally transparent to light, a second layer generally transparent or absorptive to light and spaced from the first layer; an improved partition means separates the space between the layers into compartments; a thermal radiation suppression device for suppressing thermal radiation transmission; and a variable transparency device for controlling transmission of light. A suitable partition includes a novel convection baffle which transmits light and thermal radiation which improves the thermal resistance and/or reduces the cost of low emissivity layers.</p> |
