    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…

      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 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.
