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