I get 29 degrees drop in both units. I am now adding slide covers and window awnings and will equip all other windows with sunscreen snap on covers with a pouch if I have to use foil. I have shades over skylights and need to fix the two door windows to block light attractively! I spent weeks sealing and insulating basement with more work ahead on this. I added the vents to the hot areas so I got more even cooling. Adding foil is a great idea but if you have double pane , which I do not intentionally, the double light incident and reflected makes the glass far hotter and eventually deteriorates the seals on double pane causing fogging and very expensive resealing. That is why I am either buying exterior sunscreens with pouches for foil or making them myself.
