Ah yeah that's a different story then. However I've never heard of in-floor cooling before. I wonder how effective it would be since heat rises? I think you'd just have a cool floor and hot muggy air. Also the floor would condense water constantly so your floor would be slippery and if you have carpet it would be wet / damp constantly.
