This discussion centers around buildings without a ceiling (exposed rafters) and insulation following the roof-line.
In the south attics are vented to flush heat. However, heat transfer in an attic comes mainly from radiation. Venting an attic doesn’t flush radiation effectively at all (no ceiling – insulation follows roof-line).

Then we can identify the distinct differences we offer for those two different applications and throw a name on both of them!
An uninhabited building that is either cold storage or minimally insulated is the most simple structural design.
