Do you think putting foil over south and west facing house windows has the desired effect?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46808points) August 12th, 2012

I see that a lot when temps get really high. I assume the logic is to deflect the sun. However, I figure what really happens is the foil gets really hot and radiates the heat back in to the house, like an oven!

Thoughts?
