Solution


Its not advisable to have cooling on floor , as there are some challenges in having cooling through floor ..
  • Cold air is denser than hot air and tends to settle at bottom which can increase the temp of the flooring, cold floors are not preferred for human comfort , if cooling is from height it won't cool the floor as it gains heat when and becomes lighter
  • Colling at height allow air to pass but a floor cooling has restrictions due to the items places on the floor , in this case it puts a pressure on airflow that can be generated by fan/blower
  • Having cooling on floors can be a expensive solution as you are paying floor space / carpet area etc ..
