The house we have in the US south seems to function in this way in summer:

I know nothing about AC/insulation systems but it seems that:

If there was simply airflow through the attic, it would stop the attic being actually warmer than outdoors?

Am I totally wrong?

So I propose this:

Do I have head up ass?

Is this something every other house has and I'm just behind the times? I have "reinvented the wheel" or?

I've noticed anyway, from the attic, the gaps to the outisde walls are just really poor anyway (ie, you can generally "look out" the gaps and see the grass) ... should I perhaps just install massive fans that pump the hot air out those gaps?

Maybe I'm wrong and it's not actually that hot out there - I'm running out to buy many thermometer devices!

What's the deal on this?

(I realize that would be the wrong direction - but my guess is it would be a huge improvement.)
