A couple of years back I posted a question .. didn't get very far,
thought I'd try again.

I have a modern highly insulated 2 storey house, and this time of year
the upstairs get very hot .... and with high values of insulation it
does not cool quickly ... bedrooms are very hot.

Leave a couple of upstairs windows open on different sides of the house.

Keep curtains closed on the sunny side of the house

Cross ventilate the loft space with a large slow running fan

Add overhangs to the windows so you only get solar gain in spring autumn and
winter

Reflective coatings on the glass
