A system, comprising a surface material comprising (i) a first layer having perforations and (ii) a second layer carrying fibers, wherein the fibers are arranged such that they penetrate the first layer having perforations via the perforations, a mechanism for switching the fibers between an erected position and a relaxed position, a control unit for comparing an actual temperature TA at at least one position of the surface material with a temperature threshold TT and for controlling the mechanism for switching the fibers between an erected position and a relaxed position based on the result of the comparison.
