The insulation body is configured with a plurality of apertures, which extend vertically therethrough from an upper side to an underside and into which a variable number of the compressive force-carrying elements, formed as individual compressive force-carrying elements, can be inserted. It is thus possible for the number and/or the nature of the individual compressive force-carrying elements to be adapted to the static requirements present in each case, and therefore the heat-insulating system is suitable for a large number of different applications. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A heat-insulating system for vertical load-carrying connection of building parts to be produced from concrete, the system comprising: an insulation body and one or more compressive force-carrying elements, the insulation body has a plurality of apertures which extend vertically through the insulation body from an upper side to an underside thereof, wherein a variable number of the compressive force-carrying elements, designed as individual compressive force-carrying elements, are removably inserted into the plurality of apertures, and wherein at least one said aperture of the plurality of apertures is not occupied by the compressive force-carrying elements, and at least one blind plug composed of a heat-insulating material is positioned in the at least one aperture not occupied by the compressive force-carrying elements. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, wherein the insulation body is cuboidal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, wherein the compressive force-carrying elements are retained in the apertures of the insulation body by a friction fit. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, wherein the compressive force-carrying elements and the blind plugs are approximately cylindrical with a circular, elliptical or polygonal cross section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, wherein the compressive force-carrying elements are produced from a high-strength concrete. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, wherein the insulation body has an at least central through-opening, which extends through the insulation body from the upper side to the underside and has a cross-sectional surface area which is larger than that of the apertures. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The heat-insulating system according to claim 6, further comprising a closure plug which is insertable into the through-opening and is made of heat-insulating material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The heat-insulating system according to claim 1, further comprising through-extending reinforcement elements extending approximately vertically beyond the upper side and the underside of the insulation body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The heat-insulating system according to claim 8, wherein the reinforcement elements are angled at at least one end.
