To put it plainly, shipping containers can get hot. Really hot. One study of wine shipments found that containers traveling between Australia and the US reached a maximum temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) while at sea.[1]
Another study conducted by engineers at Xerox found that temperatures in shipping containers on land can drop as low as -21ºF (-29ºC) and reach as high as 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57ºC).[2] The researchers found that the greatest temperature fluctuations occur on land, though containers traveling by sea are still subject to intense heat.
Certainly they can get really hot in certain conditions. I do t think that is very relevant to the actual living conditions, but I have a small sample size. The ones I have seen have been pretty efficient.
Cars are an entirely different thing. They get hot in the sun because of greenhouse effect.
I’m saying picking two extremes is statistically relevant. If we had 100 container house temperatures we would throw out the extremes as outliers and look at the remain temperatures to gain useful information.
You have interpreted " we found these two extremes" to mean “all containers in all conditions”.
I could say “this means the average temperature is a cool 45.5°.”
I have spent time in containers. I was surprised by how comfortable they were. Most recently I was surprised that the container was cooler on the inside on a hot sunny day.
I could say “this means the average temperature is a cool 45.5°.”
I’m sure you could say that because saying incredibly stupid things doesn’t appear to be an issue for you at all.
And yes I am interpreting “if a container sits in the sun it gets up to 120 degrees” to mean that if you leave a container sitting in the sun it will get up to 120 degrees. What are you suggesy8ng would cause these containers to behave differently from the ones tested. That’s the whole thing about containers, they’re all built to the same spec. Supposedly that’s why you morons think they’d be a good option ao it’s pretty funny for you to turn around and now act like that’s some weird outlier.

Oh you’re the guy who is like “certain conditions” like you’ve never in your life encountered a hot car in the summer

something giant metal containers are famously immune from lmao
Yes. Steel is not transparent to visible light.
I guess every time I’ve had to help throw a freight truck it’s just been hellish inside after sunrise because of what space aliens
Do you know what the three methods of heat transfer are, person who just called me a luddite?
“Certain conditions” like “the sun being out”
You don’t think the fact the internal temperature fluctuates between 125 and -21 degrees is relevant to living conditions?

You really are a dolt huh
