1. A thermal break for use in construction comprising a panel formed of insulation material having a high thermal resistance and defining opposing spaced parallel major surfaces;

  • reinforcing bar sections extending in opposite directions from each of said major surfaces and having lengths suitable for being tied to a reinforcement grid of external reinforcement bars, each reinforcing bar section extending from one major surface being associated with a reinforcing bar section extending from the other opposing major surface for transmitting tension forces; and

    thermal insulation means within said panel for providing thermal resistance between each two associated reinforcing bar sections, whereby a module is formed for enhancing thermal resistance both through said panel and through said reinforcing bar sections for reducing flow of heat from one side of said module to the other.
