近年来，负责现代办公空间热环境控制的设计工程师被要求处理越来越多的照明电源。正确执行任务需要他知道进入生活空间和其他空间（包括供暖、通风和空调回路）内气团的功率大小。此外，由于灯具和天花板系统硬件开发的趋势是使用相同的空气回路来提供组件冷却，这对于实现最大的发光效率和最小的功耗非常重要，他对热舒适条件的关注使他有必要了解并控制照明系统对生活空间内辐射的影响。简言之，建筑系统内的照明电源传输已成为设计过程中需要处理的一个非常重要的元素。 本文主要介绍加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究结果。为了简洁起见，仅对分析方法进行了足够详细的讨论，以便对结果进行适当解释。读者可参考参考文献4，了解所用方法的详细介绍。所给出的结果包括进入通风室的照明功率的部分，以及处于平衡状态的室内空气流。通风室、中央、中层单元单元的荧光照明范围为25至600流明/平方英尺。居住空间平均辐射温度（MRT）也以参数形式给出。模型结果与之前报道的实验结果进行了比较。引用:肯塔基州路易斯维尔ASHRAE Transactions第79卷第2部分

The design engineer responsible for thermal environmental control in modern office spaces has been required in recent years to deal with increasingly large quantities of lighting power. The proper execution of his task requires that he know the amount of this power entering the air mass within the living space and other spaces which comprise the heating, ventilating and air conditioning circuits. Moreover, since the trend in luminaire and ceiling system hardware development has been to employ the same air circuits to provide component cooling, which is important in achieving maximum luminous efficiency and minimum power consumption, his concern for thermal comfort conditions makes it necessary for him to understand and control the effects of the lighting system on radiation within the living space. I:p. short, the transport of lighting power within the building system has become a very important element to be dealt with in the design process.This paper is intended primarily to present the results of the UCLA study. In the interest of brevity, the analytical methods are only discussed in sufficient detail to permit proper interpretation of the results. The reader is referred to Ref 4 for a detailed presentation of the methods employed. The results presented include fractions of lighting power going to plenum and room air streams at equilibrium 'for a ventilated-plenum, central, mid-level unit cell with fluorescent lighting ranging from 25 to 600 lumens/sq ft. The living space mean radiant temperature (MRT) is also presented parametrically. Model results are compared to previously reported experimental findings.
