典型的办公空间分别由（1）辐射天花板、2）强制通风、3）踢脚板和（4）地毯加热系统进行加热。每个系统都使用相同的“工作温度”恒温器进行控制，以获得相同的舒适度，该恒温器的设定值在整个试验系列中保持不变。办公室。被关在一个环境室内。所有系统的单位面积稳态功耗平均为9.1 Btu/hft2（98 W/m2）。辐射系统用的电最少。使用地板供暖系统时，被占用空间内的空气温度最为均匀。20名受试者在每个环境中经历了三个小时。受试者周期性地表示他们对全身、头和脚的热感觉、局部不适感、舒适感，以及环境是否热可接受。 所有四个系统的舒适度和全身热感觉在统计学上没有差异，热可接受性平均为94%。尽管受试者表示他们的脚在地毯加热时有点暖和，但他们更喜欢这个系统。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。你好，檀香山2B

A typical office space was heated separately by (1) radiant ceiling panels, (2) forced-air, (3) baseboard, and (4) carpet heating systems. Each system was controlled for equal comfort with the same "operative temperature" thermostat whose set point was unchanged throughout the test series. The office. was contained within an environmental chamber. The steady-state power consumption per unit floor area for all systems averaged 9.1 Btu/hft2(98 W/m2). The radiant system used the least power. Air temperatures in the occupied space were most uniform with the floor heating system. Twenty subjects experienced each environment for three hours. Periodically, subjects indicated their thermal sensations for whole body, head, and feet, local discomfort, comfort, and whether the environment was thermally acceptable or not. Comfort and whole body thermal sensations were not statistically different for all four systems and thermal acceptability averaged 94%. Though subjects indicated their feet were slightly warm with the carpet heating, they preferred this system to the others tested.Units: Dual
