humidity shouldnt be a problem with modern ventilation and such large cooling surfaces.

I'm honestly shocked how much of a fuss the participants are making over 22-26° rooms. My apartment is almost never below 25°, even in the winter. Are they somehow going to perform better if it's 20° and they freeze? Not to mention fucking loud portable air conditioners are. There's a heatwave going through Sweden right now, and my apartment was up to 30° this afternoon.

Also really defeats the point about not using air-conditioning when all the participants just bring in super-inefficient portable units and then immediately throw them in the trash. I guess it's good for energy efficiency in the long run though for when these buildings become normal apartments.

It’s all in what you’re used to. My house is never that warm, even in summer. I can sleep as warm as 22° in the summer, but always keep it below 20° in the winter.

So, yes, if I have to sleep where it’s 25° or 27° or warmer, I’m probably not sleeping well and we’ll all be happy I’m not an athlete

as warm as 22°

This broke my Indian brain.

It is not even 8 am and my apartment crested 80f with the ac on. If I could have a colder living space without the noisy compressor I'd be so happy.
