Claim 18:
19. A method, comprising:
installing insulation material in an opening in concrete aligned with a building opening;
placing a thermal break device into the opening so that an elongated sill of the thermal break device is aligned with an exterior surface near or adjacent to the building opening;
securing the thermal break device in place in the opening;
positioning the thermal break device such that an entire length of a first plurality of studs extends into the opening from a bottom surface of the elongated sill substantially parallel to an elongated base that is substantially perpendicular to the elongated sill, and an entire length of a second plurality of studs extends from an inner surface of the elongated base of the thermal break device substantially parallel to the elongated sill; and
pouring concrete into the opening to secure the thermal break device in alignment with the building opening causing the first and second plurality of studs to be embedded into the concrete.
