Default Radiant Heat Barrier

I just purchased a new home in Osceola Hills. Same model I owned 3 years prior before the code change. New house with radiant barrier sports an A/C unit 83% the capacity of the previous house. Still maintains 73 degrees at 92 degrees outside.
Ventured into my attic on that same 90 degree day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The attic was the SAME temperature as the garage. Old house attic was 30 degrees hotter.
Properly installed radiant barriers work.
