Edit: I wasn't aware that br*ts don't insulate at all so whatever
Oh this is my thing
When you insulate a home for a cold, wet, climate you put what's called the 'vapor barrier' on the inside of the home, so as to prevent the warm air inside from coming into contact with the cooler building materials and forming condensation.
In places where it's normally hot, you insulate with the vapor barrier on the outside because you want to prevent the hot air outside from coming into contact with the cooler air inside, either because of air conditioning or the home cooling methods described in this thread.
So while the insulation does still work both ways, the method by which the insulation is applied does affect the efficiency by which the home can be cooled
