minus-squaretobogganablazelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down2·6 months agoIf you’re running an AC and the room is still at 24°C+ I would say it’s not working.
minus-squarestephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down5·6 months agoIf the AC was set to 26 °C, you’re expecting the temp to be below 24 °C? What are you even talking about?
minus-squarems.lane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·6 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-squareBastingChemina@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 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.
minus-squarestephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 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.
