Not really a direct HVAC question but was wondering what HVAC pros thought about radiant barrier paints on the underside of roof decking - they are supposed to keep attics cooler to create a better environment for HVAC equipment. Does this stuff actually work?

I tend to agree.
If reflective coatings work for windows, then why not other places also.
In the 80's I was involved with Eagle Shield.
I never got the stuff, but a friend did and said that it FELT better in his home.
I don't know that it reduced his utilities though...
