minus-squarems.lanelinkEnglish3•6 months agoYou’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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoYeah, 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoI 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.
