Oh yes. Not sure if it was NSF... probably wasn't.

We built an insulated closet in our bakery, about 4x8'. Lined the walls
with galvanised steel. Put gaskets on the door. Put a tube through a
wall, ran an extension cord through it, and then sealed the tube with
silicone seal. We didn't want to put permanent outlets in there - the
humidity would probably cause them to corrode.

We put some racks about 6' up, so we could put buckets of dough there
for the first rise.

Then we put a heated room humidifier and "rolling radiator" style heater
in there. In the end, we realized we didn't need the rolling radiator,
with the heat in the bakery, the insulation, and the heated humidifier,
it was warm enough in there.

We'd roll in racks of rising dough, let it rise, roll 'em out, and put
the sheet pans in the oven. Worked very well for us.
