In this fiery summer, the horn of the Paris Olympic Games is about to blow, the Seine River, the Olympic spirit will once again write a new page for the chapter of peace and friendship. Looking back at the success of the bid, the French government said it wanted to "plan a completely different Olympic Games". The Paris organizing committee has promised the world that the Games will be the greenest, low-carbon and environmentally friendly games in history, with carbon emissions cut by more than half compared to London 2012 and Rio 2016.
In order to achieve the goal, the Paris Olympic Games took great care to adopt environmental protection measures covering the construction of venues, living environment, transportation and food.
However, some of Paris' environmental practices have also caused controversy. The Olympic village is not equipped with air conditioning things, once made a fuss. Many media reports said that during the Games, the average temperature in the local area will exceed 34 degrees Celsius, and the humidity will be close to 70%. According to the organizing committee, the Olympic village will use "natural cooling" methods, including water cooling systems. The water cooling system takes water cooled to 4 ° C from a well 70 meters underground at a nearby geothermal power plant and delivers it to pipes under the floor of each apartment. It is said that the cold water should make the temperature inside the building 6 ° C to 10 ° C lower than the temperature outside. It will also be equipped with electric fans.
Although the debate about the "Paris Olympic Games environmental protection" has never stopped, photovoltaic as the current most cost-effective, scene adaptability of the most clean energy, naturally become the first choice for all kinds of carbon reduction scenes, in the "all green" Paris Olympic Games is hard to brush a wave of existence.
Regarding the competitors' concerns about the high temperature, Laurent Michaud, the head of the Olympic and Paralympic villages in Paris, said in an interview that although the village is not equipped with air conditioning, they are fighting a battle of preparation. This includes the Olympic Village, where a third of the buildings have photovoltaic panels with PV Mounting Rail on their roofs.
The Paris Olympic Games' "favor" of photovoltaic is far more than that, as one of the permanent stadiums built for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the water sports Center is a low-carbon venue, and all building materials are bio-based materials. Its wooden structure and roof frame have been carefully designed to blend perfectly with the surrounding green space. The 5,000-square-metre roof is covered with photovoltaic panels and is one of the largest urban solar farms in France, providing the energy needed for the centre.
Even more remarkable is that during the Olympics, a floating pv system will be floating in the Seine, designed to enhance the flow of renewable energy, but also to add a sense of technology to the romantic Seine. The floating installation features 400 square meters of photovoltaic panels that generate 78 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to power 94 apartments in the Olympic and Paralympic villages.
