My guess that what gets in, it would be almost as effective as keeping
it from getting out. They list it as a block to radiation (UV, visual,
and IR), plus as an insulator. According to their web site, it is
measurably better than white paint.
All that said, you would probably still want to (at least) ventilate.
Depending on your location, you may still want to use a thermal pump.
Out here, we mostly just use ventilation.

But does it let interior thermal radiation out? I suppose you could
just paint the top and three sides and radiate on the northern side?
Would it be best to paint the northern side a radiant black then?
Curious minds want to know!

Which reminds me of this material that a friend clued me in on.
You can get this at Home Depot (for example). It is pricey; around
$250 per 5 gallon bucket, AND it needs a top coat of another material
at near the same price. However, for an advertised reduction in
temperature of over 60 degrees F, it may be worth a look.
