Discovered that the attic access hatch isn’t insulated, which honestly isn’t surprising given when it was built. No ladder system. I’m working on cutting up some foam boards to glue to the backside. Hopefully it will reduce how much is radiated through this barrier.
Throwing this out there just in case: is the attic vented properly?
There are two vents, one on each side opposite of each other. No fans.
I’m used to Texas where they’re vertically mounted with a fan. So I don’t know yet what is “proper” for the northeast region
