Inside with no A/C is far worse than outside.

Disagree, as long as the temps are the same. Sun exposure/UV will sap all the energy out of you and outside work is usually going to be more physically strenuous than whatever you're doing inside

Yeah but the temps never are the same are they? The sun heats the building and unless you've got a fan the entire shift, you have no airflow. Agreed on the UV part tho.

Edit: Lol about the more physical/strenuous part tho.

If the blinds are closed and there's half decent insulation, and maybe a fan for some airflow, inside can be much nicer.

Offices generally don't have this though, unfortunately

Warehouses and newer factories are often sheet metal buildings with no insulation and maybe a vent fan by the peak. You often get industrial blowers on the floor but it's still pushing triple digit air at you.

Offices also usually have computers and other things adding a not insignificant amount to that heat.

I don't experience that personally. I find the constant AC blowing on me fucks me up. Being out in the hot sun feels great. Maybe I'm a reptile....

Still depends. The air usually is better outside as it can get pretty stuffy inside quickly.

Some buildings trap heat and can actually be hotter than outside, with no airflow and often the humidity of dozens of sweating humans.

Yes, outdoor labor is strenuous and working in the sun is draining. But at least the air moves (usually)

I work in a foundry... And I've worked outside. Inside without A/C is far worse.

You've got to understand that a foundry is probably the most extreme form of "worked inside," right? I don't think its the lack of aircon making you toasty lol

Right but I have also worked at other factories as well that didn't have AC as well. Before this job, I'd never stayed anywhere more than 2 1/2 years. My ADHD gets bored and tired of people too easily lol so I've had a lot of random experience. I've even worked an air conditioned desk job for a while, absolutely hated it.

Hmm, foundry. Alright, I'll take your word for it. Thats gotta suck.

It does, but the pay and benefits are too good.

I did both yesterday. It's not.

Depends on the building. Steel reinforced concrete is brutal in summer, even with some airflow. Brick buildings that were well designed are a lot better.

Honestly it'd be nice if we could get some solar panels up and shade the roof at the very least.
