Stack effect, roof heat and the attic releasing stored heat after sunset — why the top floor runs hottest, and the fixes ranked by what they cost.

Guide
Fans cool people, not rooms. The exhaust setup, the cross-breeze setup, ceiling fan direction, and the indoor temperature above which a fan makes things worse.
