I had jacked up the insulation to about 24" (90% plus of HEAT GAIN is through the roof), I had SOLAR SCREENS on all south and west facing windows, all of my windows and doors were well caulked to prevent air leaks, all of my units had electronic/automatic set-back thermostats, whenever I replaced a roof I went with a ridge vent to improve air flow through the attic.
