Just to boast about 1970's architecture.... Downstairs semi-underground
bedrooms were a relaxing 22 degrees at about 18:00 last night.

With the appropriate use of the various ventilation options my 1960s
house remains at about 20-22C even in the warmest weather. That is
true of the south facing public rooms and the north facing bedrooms.
The walls and roof are reasonably reflective, both are insulated.
However it does not have external shading. I do ensure it is cooled
overnight, by ventilation. However, I do understand what is going on
and how to get the building to behave as I want it.
