热辐射是影响人体热舒适性的重要因素。平均辐射温度是用来描述热辐射对人体总体热舒适性的影响的参数，即人体对寒冷和温暖的感觉。然后用平面辐射温度来描述辐射环境的不对称性。在人们测量和评估热环境对人类的影响时，这两个因素往往被忽略。这可能是因为难以测量这两个参数。 本文将介绍和讨论几种测量或估计这两个因素的方法。比较了测量平均辐射温度的不同方法（地球温度计、椭球形传感器、六个方向的平面辐射温度、表面温度估算和角度系数）。对代表住宅建筑、办公室和工业工作场所的三个典型房间进行了比较。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第95卷，pt。1989年，芝加哥

Thermal radiation is a significant factor for the thermal comfort of man. The mean radiant temperature is the parameter used to describe the influence of thermal radiation on man’s general thermal comfort, i.e., his feeling of cold and warmth. The plane radiant temperature is then used to describe the asymmetry of the radiant environment. Very often these two factors are neglected when people measure and~or evaluate the influence of the thermal environment on man. This may be due to the difficulties in measuring these two parameters.This paper will present and discuss several methods to measure or estimate these two factors. A comparison is made between different methods to measure the mean radiant temperature (globe-thermometer, ellipsoidshaped sensor, plane radiant temperature in six directions, estimation by means of surface temperature, and angle factors). This comparison is made for three typical rooms representing residential buildings, office rooms, and industrial workplaces.
