Stop pretending the office thermostat covers the kitchen line.
Kitchens, warehouses, and plants need a written indoor heat program and a stored reading. RestShade watches indoor sites, keeps the daily record, and applies the indoor rule for that state without new hardware. Most days you do nothing. When indoor thresholds cross, it flags the site and pings the right people.
The problem
Indoor heat gets treated as a comfort complaint until someone asks for the program, the readings, and the controls used on the hottest week of the year.
How RestShade helps
RestShade generates the indoor program from your controls and stores the reading per work area, applying the indoor rule for the state that site sits in.
What you walk away with
- A written indoor program naming your actual controls
- Readings on file per work area, taken where the work happens
- The right indoor rule per state without you tracking which is which
What RestShade handles
- California T8 3396 thresholds at 82 F and heat index 87 F
- Maryland COMAR 09.12.32 indoor coverage from heat index 80 F
- Minnesota WBGT limits by workload at 77, 80, and 86 F
- Federal Heat NEP as recommended practice where no indoor rule exists
How it works
- RestShade generates the indoor program Fans, filtered air, cool-down areas, and rotation become a written program from your profile.
- Work-area readings are watched per state pack 3396, COMAR, Minnesota WBGT, or NEP thresholds evaluate in the background.
- Supervisors sign when controls matter Reading, duties, and acknowledgment stay on one shift record.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this need sensors? No. RestShade is the log, not a sensor. Manual readings are the required path and the ones the record keeps.
- Our state has no indoor rule. Is a program pointless? No. The federal Heat NEP reaches indoor work in high-risk industries, and a written program plus readings is what an inspection asks for.
- Can indoor and outdoor sites share one account? Yes. Site kind is set per site, so the right pack applies to each one.
