My intern is suffering from heat exhaustion

For context, he works remote and we only communicate through teams. He told me today that he's tired from heat exhaustion due to no AC in this place. I was not aware of this development until that point. I immediately told him that he should not put his wellbeing at risk over this job. If he needs to go to the library or take a break, fine. Just don't suffer for trying to do a good job. I swear, this guy does not understand the concept of me not caring how much he gets done in a day over just getting something done. This is an internship. He should take his time to learn. I hired him specifically in his inexperience in this field to begin with. TL;DR: Intern just casually said that he has heat exhaustion. Told him that his wellbeing is more important than this job.
