Direct calculation of mean radiant temperature using radiant intensities.

Author(s) : PALMER J. M., CHAPMAN K. S.

Summary

The new method calculates the mean radiant temperature directly from the radiant intensity field at a particular point in the room. This approach, using the localized radiant intensity field, was theorized to be more accurate and flexible than using radiosities or surface temperatures and view factors currently described in the ASHRAE Handbook (1997). Both methods of calculating were compared to experimental measurements taken under carefully monitored conditions.
