was looking for cooling solutions for my home. i got a bit of engineering backgnd.
heat travels from hot to cooler place.
coolbatts is insulation right?
so it means it will prevent heat from coming in so the house is cooler.
but at the same time, heat will also enter by the walls and windows.
at night, coolbatts will block heat from going out. so hse is hotter.
it depends how you designed the flow of air.heat travels from hot to cooler place.

A ceiling with vent hole reduce heat build up during night.
So there is a cross breeze build between roof; so that hot air will flow out.
