As the world's top athletes gather in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics, the scorching summer heat poses a significant challenge. With Paris 2024 set to be the first Olympics with an equal number of male and female athletes among 10,500 from 206 countries, the unavailability of air conditioners in the Games Village is becoming a talking point.
The system utilizes a combination of ventilation and shading devices to keep the living quarters, dining areas, and training facilities cool. The organisers have decided to install 2,500 temporary air conditioners in the village. The accommodation complex comprises 7,000 rooms in total.
The Village's cooling system is powered by a district cooling network, which uses chilled water to cool the air. This eco-friendly solution reduces energy consumption and minimizes the carbon footprint of the Games.
