The thermal shield with a laterally extending structural element 122, a sealing element 124 between the structural element and a glazing portion 112. A portion of the shield extends beyond the sealing element to form a lip 125 such that it is spaced away from the glazing in use to define an air pocket 185 between the shield and the glazing, wherein a conduction path is created from the edge of the lip to the window frame 156. In one version the shield is claimed in a fixed window assembly and the seal is made from a foam block. In a second version the shield is in an openable window and the window includes a casement frame and a base frame and the shield includes an additional insulation. In a third version the thermal shield has insulation formed from polymer foam or aerogel. In fourth version the size and lateral length of the shield is created as a result of a computer implemented method that calculates thermal transmittance through the shield.
