Air conditioning: What is the royal way

A normal air conditioner is certainly cheaper. That was not asked about.

In newer large corporate buildings, you find that quite often imo. Many don't want air conditioning, the employees complain about it too much and it's not eco-friendly either.

I meant dripstone cave because of the condensation. You introduce a cold surface into the room and cool the air down with it. What happens to the humidity now?

These water-bearing ceilings work just like regular air conditioning units, except that there is a heat exchanger in between and the water in the ceiling is cooled only slightly below 20 °C. However, the surface area is larger. I also know this from industrial buildings. But it has not proven effective and, to my knowledge, has not been built for years. The problem is the humidity. Everything condenses on the ceiling. This could be kept within limits if new water did not constantly enter the room, because:

-ventilation is done alongside (someone in the office is always too cold)
-public traffic ensures air exchange (doors opening and closing)
-ventilation system runs

Unlike a normal split unit, no condensate is discharged, so the moisture input is essentially a one-way street.

You only cool down to 22-23 degrees. In the basement, it is often 16-18 degrees in summer, and not everyone has problems with moisture there either.

But there are also guidelines and standards to avoid such things. It has to be planned and calculated. Simple cooling and done is not possible.

And exactly in the basement one must be meticulous about moisture ingress, etc.
