Keeping heat in is no different then keeping it out. Insulation is insulation.

    Sure, but there are other facets of our architecture that tend to lock-in heat:

    • Low ceilings
    • Thick ston/brick or timber-framed + insulated walls.
    • Closed-plan layouts with many internal doors to compartmentalise our homes.
    • Double or triple glazed windows.

    In contrast to hotter countries such as the USA which has higher ceilings, thinner walls, and more open floorplans.
