[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ac was a mistake. They were trying to set an energy efficiency positive example by pumping groundwater through the floors like a radiant system. They said it was supposed to keep rooms 10 degrees below ambient. But they didn’t use it as a heat sink for refrigeration systems like normal geothermal heat pump systems. It wouldn’t have used that much more electricity. They could’ve done that and kept the athletes comfortable, while still bragging about the green’ness of it. And it would have been an example people all over the world could have followed. Instead it’s a black eye. [/quote]

Agree with this.

While I agree with the other PP about some innovative things Paris has incorporated for the games, the planning on swimming events in the Seine was a gamble- I didn’t realize there was no backup plan other than eliminating the swimming leg entirely!  Although the water was supposedly “safe” for the triathlon yesterday, you wonder if they pushed it and how many athletes will end up sick….[/quote]
