the Athletes' Village will be cooled by a system of water pipes running beneath the floorboards.

Cool, like underfloor heating but in reverse. If it works well, of course.

Officials aim to keep the rooms at between 73 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit

Nice 26c is fine.

Officials ... will also provide fans.

oh, so it doesn't work...

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

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Or run the piping in the ceiling?

Indirectly they are, since they're multistory buildings.

RIP to the top floor.
