Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing an insulating core element for a translucent building element, comprising:
providing two separation panels which are substantially parallel to each other, which separation panels are provided with a grid of multiple elongated light-conducting elements which extend parallel to each other substantially perpendicularly to the two separation panels, and which extend through the separation panels, wherein the separation panels sealingly close off against the multiple elongated light-conducting elements extending through said panels;
applying a formwork so that an intermediate space between the separation panels is closed at least along these panels to form a compartment;
providing a foam-forming substance in the intermediate space between the separation panels which substance forms a mono-block of insulating foam; and
removing the formwork after the insulating foam is formed,
wherein the provision of two separation panels, respectively the auxiliary panels, comprises the provision of multiple stacked rows of elongated light-conductive elements, wherein each row comprises multiple elongated light-conducting elements positioned next to each other and which are mutually connected by means of at least two elongated connecting elements extending substantially parallel to each other and substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the light-conducting elements at a distance from the ends of the light-conducting elements, whereby the connecting elements of two rows stacked on top of each other are in sealing contact with each other, and with the light conducting elements positioned therebetween so that the connection elements of the stacked rows form at least two separation panels, respectively auxiliary panels, which extend substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the light-conducting elements, and define an intermediate space, respectively compartment, between them.
