Yes, they aren't the same but can be applied to a similar end goal.
It doesn't completely shift the issue to later in the season. Yes, it will shift some of it, but you still have the night/day average effect. This can still be beneficial, especially if in a shady location.
Barns can be drafty if you are talking about wooden barns. Stone barns, or stone foundation barns built into a hillside, can actually be cooler inside than outside during the heat of the day. That's part of why horse owner sometimes leave their animals in the barn during the day and turn them out at night (typical summer schedule).
