Claim Text:
1. A wall insulation system for a building having a plurality of conductive horizontal girts comprising: a girt insulation block includes a substantially horizontal top surface and a sloped bottom surface, said sloped bottom surface extends substantially a width of one of the plurality of conductive horizontal girts, said girt insulation block is fabricated from a different material than the plurality of conductive horizontal girts, said girt insulation block includes a first thickness measured from said substantially horizontal top surface to said sloped bottom surface at a first end, a second thickness measured from said substantially horizontal top surface to said sloped bottom surface at a second end, and a middle thickness measured from said substantially horizontal top surface to said sloped bottom surface at a location between said first and second ends, said first end is adjacent to an inner space of the building, wherein said sloped bottom surface includes one of: said second thickness being greater in magnitude than said first thickness, said second thickness being greater in magnitude than said first thickness, and said middle thickness is greater in magnitude than said first and second thicknesses; said girt insulation block is positioned adjacent an underside of one of the plurality of conductive horizontal girts.
