If not this, what else could be causing the heat to build up? *How

how about posting a couple photos of the house


where is the house located? sun exposure?
do oyu get any night time cooling? humid climate?

one story? two story? one and a half story?
attic over entire house? attic all one volume or broken up?
type of exterior finish? stucco? wood siding?

cheers
