Would like to share the outcome of the installation, I used a double sided bubble radiant barrier and then 2 months ago installed a solar fan

Before:-
Plaster Ceiling :- 38.4c, Roof tiles:- 55C, air cond power :- 900-1000w.

With this I estimate attic temperature to be around 40-44c, going up to the room is like  a sauna..

After:- Radiant Barrier only
Plaster Ceiling :- 32-33c, Roof tiles:- 36-38C, air cond power :- 400-450W.
A radiant barrier really works, a must have. Made a huge difference in room temperature.
At the same time I started putting temperature sensor at my attic, external (outside my window) and my room to log the temperature.
I notice around 2c difference between external temperature and the attic temperature.

After:- Radiant Barrier + solar fan
Installed a solar fan so it would turn on roughly 8am to maybe 6- 6:30pm. Made a small difference, temperature now within 0.5c compared to external temperature.
Also integrated all in home assistant , to log the temperature and air cond power. Small savings in air cond power (maybe around 50w on average?)

Can share the brand of your raden shield?
I'm considering to install the Monier AL+FX series but still want to survey around and see what I can get with lower price. sweat.gif
