In addition, the aerogel thermal insulation blanket is made of a thermal break material with fire rated A-class combustion performance so that the fireproof and fire-resistant performance of the curtain wall is able to be better ensured.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a structure for blocking heat transfer through a thermal bridge of a cantilevered beam of a canopy comprises a cantilevered canopy beam 11′ and an exterior metal cladding panel 12′, the exterior metal cladding panel 12′ is installed around the canopy beam 11′ and the exterior metal cladding panel 12′ is fixed to the canopy beam 11′ by metal brackets. An aerogel thermal break strip 15′ is installed between the canopy beam 11′ and the exterior metal cladding panel 12′ and the aerogel thermal break strip 15′ is a continuous strip, made of an aerogel thermal insulation blanket and wrapped over the external surface of the canopy beam 11′. The canopy beam 11′ is fixed to a main structure by brackets. Two adjacent exterior metal cladding panels 12′ are sealed by silicone sealant, every exterior metal cladding panel 12′ and an upright curtain wall frame 13′ are sealed by silicone sealant, a metal flashing 14′ is installed between two upright curtain wall frames 13′ and thermal insulation is located in an inner side of the metal flashing 14.

[0047] An aerogel thermal insulation blanket with a thermal conductivity no greater than 0.021 W/(m.Math.K) is wrapped over an external surface of the canopy beam 11′ in limited space, with full advantage of a characteristic of low thermal conductivity, a thermal performance of a building is significantly improved and a risk of condensation problem in an interior of the building is reduced. Moreover, since a thickness of the aerogel thermal insulation blanket is only 6 mm or 10 mm, a cladding thickness of the metal cladding panel is maximally reduced, an esthetic effect of the building is guaranteed and a comprehensive construction cost of the curtain wall is simultaneity reduced. Because the aerogel thermal insulation blanket is made of thermal break material with fire rated A-class, the fireproof and fire-resistant performance of the building is able to be better ensured.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 12, a structure for blocking heat transfer through a thermal bridge of a window frame comprises a steel frame 21′, an aluminum alloy window frame 24′ and window glass 25′ mounted in the aluminum alloy window frame 24′, as well as an indoor and an outdoor metal decorative cover 22′, 23′. An integral aerogel thermal break strip 26′ made of an aerogel thermal insulation blanket is fixed between the steel frame 21′, the indoor and the outdoor metal decorative cover 22′, 23′ and the aluminum alloy window frame 24′.

[0049] The aerogel thermal break strip 26′ is made of a concave aerogel thermal insulation blanket with a thermal conductivity no greater than 0.021 W/(m.Math.K) so that a thermal performance of the curtain wall is substantially enhanced for ensuring that there is no condensation problem in an interior of the curtain wall, and a comprehensive construction cost of the curtain wall is decreased without changing frame profiles of the existing curtain wall design. In addition, a structure of the thermal break is simplified to be well adapted to a concave cross-sectional shape with the advantage that the aerogel thermal insulation blanket is easy to be assembled, thereby forming an identical material, continuous and integral thermal break design. Since the aerogel thermal insulation blanket is made of thermal break material with fire rated A-class, the fireproof and fire-resistant performance of the curtain wall is able to be better ensured.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 13, a structure for blocking heat transfer through a thermal bridge of a roof comprises a metal roof beam 72 with a rectangular vertical section, a metal flashing 76 and indoor roof metal cladding panels 73, 73′. Thermal insulation is filled between the metal roof beam 72, the metal flashing 76 and the indoor roof metal cladding panels 73, 73′. Two adjacent indoor roof metal cladding panels 73, 73′ are connected together by metal clampers 77 and fixed to the metal roof beam 72 by screw fasteners. An integral aerogel thermal break strip 75 made of an aerogel thermal insulation blanket is fixed between the metal roof beam 72 and the metal clampers 77, and two adjacent indoor roof metal cladding panels 73, 73′ are sealed by silicone sealant.
