Author(s) : OLESEN B. W.

Summary

THERMAL RADIATION IS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR FOR THE THERMAL COMF ORT OF MAN. THE MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE IS THE PARAMETER USED TO DESCRIBE THE INFLUENCE OF THERMAL RADIATION ON MAN'S GENERAL THERMAL COMFORT, IE HIS FEELING OF COLD AND WARMTH. THE PAPER PRESENTS AND DISCUSSES SEVERAL METHODS TO MEASURE OR ESTIMATE THESE FACTORS. A COMPARISON IS MADE BETWEEN DIFFERENT METHODS TO MEASURE THEN MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE (GLOBE-THERMOMETER, ELLIPSOID-SHAPED SENSOR, PLANE RADIANT TEMPERATURE IN 6 DIRECTIONS, ESTIMATION BY MEANS OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE, AND ANGLE FACTORS). THIS COMPARISON IS MADE FOR 3 TYPICAL ROOMS REPRESENTING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, OFFICE ROOMS, AND INDUSTRIAL WORKPLACES.
