1. A device for use in an opaque building structure, comprising:
a first rigid material insulation element having a first face and a second face and opposite the first, wherein the first face supports a first heat energy highly reflective surface, and wherein the second face supports a second heat energy highly reflective surface, wherein the first rigid material insulation element comprises a primarily insulating material with a thickness between 0.25 inches and 1.0 inches; and
a second rigid material insulation element having a third face and a fourth face opposite the third face, wherein the third face supports a third heat energy highly reflective surface, and wherein the fourth face supports a fourth heat energy highly reflective surface, wherein the second rigid material insulation element comprises a primarily insulating material with a thickness between 0.25 inches and 1.0 inches; and
wherein the first rigid material insulation element and the second rigid material insulation element are connected with the second heat energy highly reflective surface parallel to the third heat energy highly reflective surface to form an air space of still air between the second heat energy highly reflective surface and the third heat energy highly reflective surface, whereby the air space, the second heat energy highly reflective surface, and the third heat energy highly reflective surface form a highly reflective insulation element.
