I live in the south. Interestingly a lot of our warehouses are either air conditioned, or use traditional air cooling techniques like high ceilings, cross ventilation and white roofs.

By the way you can get air seals for semi truck loading docks so even if the door is open and you’re loading a truck, it’s air conditioned, it’s nice.

    Interesting! I’m curious, on a hot day where it’s reaching the 90’s or higher, how hot would you say it gets indoors at your work

    Our warehouse has electronics in it, so it’s one of the warehouses that’s climate controlled. So during summer it’s 75 F in there, around 23ish C.

    For a non climate controlled warehouse during the summer, the floor would be around 10 F 6ish C cooler than ambient plus shade, however the ceiling would be around 15 F 8ish C hotter than ambient.
