Yeah, but we’re talking about an underfloor cooling system here. They don’t really have a way to distribute the cold air like air-conditioning systems do. So in the Olympic village’s case, a fan should be needed.
Imagine training your whole life for one Olympics where you’re at peak performance, then having it fucked up because organisers decided to do this performative nonsense.
Cool, like underfloor heating but in reverse. If it works well, of course.
Nice 26c is fine.
oh, so it doesn’t work…
No no, they’ll provide FANS to serve as butlers. Fetch the odd cool drink, ice cream or condoms. That sort of thing
Underfloor heating is great. Underfloor cooling without some form of dehydration will lead to condensation, moisture, and mould.
Not to mention, hot air rises up from the floor. Cold air…doesn’t.
Therefore they need ventilators
Or run the piping in the ceiling?
Indirectly they are, since they’re multistory buildings.
RIP to the top floor.
Why would having fans means it doesn’t work? I use fans along with AC to make the cold air distribution faster, doesn’t mean my AC is not working.
If you’re running an AC and the room is still at 24°C+ I would say it’s not working.
If the AC was set to 26 °C, you’re expecting the temp to be below 24 °C? What are you even talking about?
You’re not wrong, but if you’re setting to 26c and still need a fan, you should just set it lower.
I personally run 27c in summer and don’t need an additional fan.

I disagree, a fan is way more economical and ecological than the AC.
So you should put the fan first and if the fan is not enough then you put the AC on. Especially if it’s a ceiling fan that is almost completely quiet.
26C is way too hot for me to sleep properly.

No wonder half the teams are bringing air con.
