What is the purpose of raised flooring if it *doesn't *create a plenum?

A consultant has recommended FreeAxez for the raised floor in a new data
center.  I checked it out and have concerns since it says it does NOT
create a plenum and cannot be used as an air handling space; it's a
low-profile flooring system.

How would cooling be done in this scenario?  Open air (with intake/exhaust
mixing) seems like a step backwards in terms of efficiency.

Descriptions of any operation experience with this product will be
