According to Xinhua, in order to fully save energy and reduce emissions, and based on historical weather characteristics, France did not install air conditioning in the Olympic Village. So how do you cool off your athletes during the heat wave that is likely to occur in Paris this summer?
The Olympic Village has its own solution: light-coloured floor tiles laid outdoors enhance light reflection and avoid the heat island effect; The proximity to the Seine enhances air circulation; A floor temperature cooling system is used to pump cold water into the apartment, allowing for a temperature difference of "6 to 10 degrees Celsius" between the interior and the outside. At the same time, the Olympic Village is equipped with more than 8,000 fans. (Xinhua News Agency, Xinhuanet)
