Athletes at the Paris Summer Games will have plenty of condoms but no air conditioning. The buildings have been designed to be comfortable without air conditioning by using efficient insulation and cooled water circulated in the floors for coolness. The organizers aim to reduce the event's carbon footprint and plan to repurpose the athlete housing for Parisians after the Games.
