It's the opposite. Insulation protects you from heat as well. That's why refrigerators are very much insulated.
- mantas 4y agoInsulation protects only so long till it heats up. Then it keeps the heat inside.
- goodpoint 4y agoNo, that's just thermal mass and it's zero-sum. That's why you need aircon. Removing insulation doesn't magically make your home cooler.
- mantas 4y agoRemoving insulation means house cools down fast once sun goes down. Which is important for sleeping. While there're myriad of ways to handle heat during the day.
