Answers:
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) comes in sheets and is very long lasting and safe to use - no fibers, no itchy skin, no breathing issues.this is also used to keep cold out as well as heat and is durable.
look into a product called "Snow Roof". You roll it on like paint and it will lower inside temp 10-20 degrees.
Use HDPE foam (high density polyethylene) - possibly with a layer of aluminum foil sandwiched in between. It's also waterproof (polystyrene isn't).
