Unscramble the Blue Letters


And how does it look like in a stadium? So the stadium has a few eenmlets which create that outdoor cofmrot. First of all, it's shading. It needs to protect where the people are sitintg against stonrg and warm wind.

But that's not all what we need to do. We need to use active systems. Instead of blowing a hurricane of chilled air through the stadium, we can use rndaait cooling technologies, like a floor heating system where water pipes are embedded in the floor. And just by using cold waetr going through the water pieps, you can release the heat which is absorbed during the day in the stadium, so you can create that comfort, and then by adding dry air instead of down-chilled air, the spectators and the football plyears can adjust to their individual comfort needs, to their individual energy balance. They can adjust and find their comfort they need to find.

Original Text


And how does it look like in a stadium? So the stadium has a few elements which create that outdoor comfort. First of all, it's shading. It needs to protect where the people are sitting against strong and warm wind.

But that's not all what we need to do. We need to use active systems. Instead of blowing a hurricane of chilled air through the stadium, we can use radiant cooling technologies, like a floor heating system where water pipes are embedded in the floor. And just by using cold water going through the water pipes, you can release the heat which is absorbed during the day in the stadium, so you can create that comfort, and then by adding dry air instead of down-chilled air, the spectators and the football players can adjust to their individual comfort needs, to their individual energy balance. They can adjust and find their comfort they need to find.
