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.

with whole house ventilation not supposed to do this as it unbalances
the system.



Keep curtains closed on the sunny side of the house

eE do, plus blinds fitted


Cross ventilate the loft space with a large slow running fan

Not sure that would have much effect due to high levels of insulation in
loft


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

Reflective coatings on the glass

all glass is K-Glass
