New build too hot?
I am in the process of closing on the build. However, I have two questions:
About the new build:
- The second floor was 77 degrees while it was only 80 degrees outside. That strikes me as being too hot. I've been in well-insulated houses and they don't get that hot. Does this seem reasonable?
- There was a 5-degree temperature difference between the 1st and 2nd floor. Is that normal?
About the new build:
- the AC has never been run. The fan *might* be on.
- it has a single unit but is dual zoned

My house is well insulated and the inside temperature lags 24+ hours behind the outside temp. So in the shoulder seasons when we have the HVAC turned off the temperature outside yesterday has more affect on the current inside temperature today.
