After making sure all roofs were well insulated, we also wanted to insulate the walls of the room on top as they are the ones that get most sun. The room's ample height already insures the hot air stays at the top and does not affect the quality of life below, so further insulation can only make it more comfortable. All apertures to the outside will have double glazing and some will also have louvered shutters on the outside.
The wall insulation is placed underneath the metal structure that holds the plaster boards. The amount of space that has been taken for the layers needed is well worth it when one considers the savings in energy consumption in the long run.
