Accuracy of Mean Radiant Temperature Derived from Active and Passive Radiometry

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
The concept of the mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) allows the study of radiative exchanges between a human and its environment. It presupposes that the radiant effects on the person of the actual environment, which is generally heterogeneous, and the ...

Sensitivity Studies of a Low Temperature Low Approach Direct Cooling Tower for Building Radiant Cooling Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent interest in cooling towers as a mechanism for producing chilled water, together with the evolution of radiant cooling, have prompted a review of evaporative cooling in temperate maritime climates.

ASSESSMENT OF MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]

open access: yesOccupational and Environmental Medicine, 1965
The mean radiant temperature (m.r.t.) is usually assessed as the radiation received at a point (or by a small sphere), but it is clearly important to know how adequately this parameter describes the heat load on a man, for in the presence of hot surfaces his shape and orientation may have significant effects.

Experimental investigation of thermal comfort performance of a radiant wall and ceiling panel system

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Engineering, 2022
The number of radiant heating-cooling systems in building applications is increasing it is because of low energy consumption, low operating temperature and high values they provide in terms of working compatibility with renewable energy sources.

Addressing a systematic error correcting for free and mixed convection when measuring mean radiant temperature with globe thermometers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
It is widely accepted that most people spend the majority of their lives indoors. Most individuals do not realize that while indoors, roughly half of heat exchange affecting their thermal comfort is in the form of thermal infrared radiation. We show that

Influence of ground surface characteristics on the mean radiant temperature in urban areas [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biometeorology, 2016
The effect of variations in land cover on mean radiant temperature (T mrt ) is explored through a simple scheme developed within the radiation model SOLWEIG. Outgoing longwave radiation is parameterised using surface temperature observations on a grass and an asphalt surface, whereas outgoing shortwave radiation is modelled through variations in albedo
