The Loughborough University team says shaded homes could be six degrees cooler than exposed homes. God that sounds good right now

I’ve always wondered about this: to close the hatch to the attic, or open it. And when, at what point? Open it the whole day, or only when outside temperatures drop below in-house ones?
It’s not mentioned in the article if they tested this but I open mine at night to try and get a bit of hot air to flow up.
oh, to let hot air flow up? So your attic is cool?
Seems the opposite of my situation: I would open it to draw the hot air out so it stops warming the rooms beneath after the sun is down. 😀
My attic was boiling! The insulation in the floor kept it up there.
